Rachel pleads with Johnny to help her young daughter, who is stranded in a nearby cabin with no access to shelter or supplies. Johnny, being the selfless hero that he is, decides to take on the challenge of rescuing Rachel's daughter and heads out into the storm once again.
With the storm raging on and the danger intensifying, Johnny enlists the help of a group of strangers who have also been stranded in the midst of it all.

As they approach the cabin, Johnny's visions become more intense and he becomes increasingly certain that something terrible is going to happen. He discovers that they are not the only ones trying to reach the cabin and that danger is lurking around every corner. Despite the odds, Johnny and his new friends continue moving forward, fighting to reach the cabin and bring Rachel's daughter to safety.
