**Premise:**
Alistair Finch, a reclusive woodcarver seeking quiet solitude, finds his remote mountain retreat anything but peaceful when he’s snowed in with a quirky cast of characters. The forced camaraderie takes a dark turn when a wealthy, abrasive guest is found dead in Alistair’s own workshop. While authorities rule it a tragic accident, Alistair’s meticulous eye spots what they missed: a single, out-of-place wood shaving that tells a story of murder.
Forced out of his shell, the quiet craftsman must become an amateur detective. Trapped by the blizzard with a lodge full of suspects, Alistair must navigate a flurry of red herrings and rising tensions to uncover a meticulously planned crime. With every guest hiding a secret, he must carve out the truth before a clever killer decides to permanently silence the whittler’s witness.
