A movie is being made, a retelling of the Donner Party tragedy, cast with children in all the roles. Behind the cameras, the brilliant and off the rails director is determined to make this grisly, realistic version his masterpiece. Filming on location moves from Black Island, Mexico to the brutal snow packed mountains in the States. As the horrific historical story is filmed, behind the cameras madness and the fires of jealousy and revenge consume crew and cast alike in a murderous dance.
