Charlotte Smyth has just taken a job at a snowboarding company in Windy Pines, Idaho, a mountain town best known for its scenery, its bumbling police force, and a sudden spate of murders. Charlotte dislikes sports, chilly weather, and anything daring, so her role as the company's cheerleader is a poor fit. The workplace is rough, with crude jokes, harsh treatment, and punishing hours. In a town where jobs are scarce, she has little choice but to stick it out.

Her boss, Shane, doubts she has what it takes and offers one last chance: the company's Christmas party. If it succeeds she keeps her job, and if not, she's out. Unfortunately, while Charlotte plans the event, secret schemes are unfolding that could wreck everything. She and her new love interest must solve the killing before the local police arrest the wrong person, or they could be spending the holidays behind bars.
