Little Peggy Buchanan is dead, drowned in the family swimming pool on an icy winter day. When her sisters Elizabeth and Laura recreate her image in the snow, they have no idea of the forces they are unleashing. Two young girls are haunted by the spirit of their dead sister, Peggy, tragically drowned in a swimming pool accident. Peggy had always imagined herself as Gerda, the lead character in Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen. Now, in the dead girl's imagination, the fictional Snow Queen has been resurrected in the form of Hel, the legendary being supposedly responsible for the Black Death and death by freezing. Anyone who threatens or even gets close to the sisters risks a - literally - chilling death. . .
