Then disaster strikes Lone Oak Hospital and, in order to survive, Laurel must venture out into the harsh Minnesota winter, and risk everything in a world gone dark and cold. Meanwhile, Bear has reached South Minneha, only to find Laurel gone. As the temperature plummets, he struggles to keep the other survivors from freezing to death in the brutal cold.

The Minnesota winters are deadly, but they're not the worst thing out there. Laurel and Bear have made enemies... Savage foes, who hunt them even as they search for each other. And they're slowly closing in. A new storm is coming. And Bear and Laurel must unite if they are to have any hope of survival.
