Synopsis

The community college's advanced photography class is trapped in a mining ghost town by an avalanche.

Help doesn't seem to be on the way, either, as they discover they have gangsters holding a secret summit conference for their company!

Add a film cast and crew on location, and conflict is the name of the game!

Everyone's claims of innocence are confounded, however, when a corpse appears, disappears, then turns up again and again.
