There's a newcomer to the small Northumberland village of Haydon...a charming novelist and movie buff, researching a crime thriller about a serial killer on a rampage in a remote Northumberland community. The only trouble is, it's a work in progress and it's going to be non-fiction. 392 men, women and children stand in his way to achieving a sadistic dream. But there is something a little odd with this small secluded community. Something doesn't seem quite right and the would-be serial killer begins to wonder whether he has bitten off more than he can chew. As the worst winter in more than a century approaches, can two investigating police officers trapped with the residents stay alive long enough to figure out just what the hell is going on? A chilling and surreal re-imagining of Rod Glenn's best-seller, Sinema: The Northumberland Massacre.
