Humanity is on the brink of extinction. A global war a hundred years earlier resulted in an almost total loss of human life. It is a post-apocalypse with virtually no men. The women that rule the world live in relative peace, but all hope of staving off the end of our species is nearly gone.

Yet, somewhere deep in a government bunker, a secret community lives and thrives - having escaped the virus that rendered all other men infertile. If a single, breedable male is worth killing for, an entire community of them will invite all out war.

And their secret is about to be discovered.

So, you want to make movies? Well, you can drop $100,000 on a film school degree or dive right in head-first and make your first film. Either way - you're getting schooled!

The latest indulgence of billionaire developer Lionel Kaylin, the holiday celebration features nearly a hundred celebrities, close friends, sycophants and hangers on.

The evening starts out splendidly despite the raging weather. But that same storm causes havoc nearby, crashing a supply plane landing at a remote, government installation. The three lives lost among the crew is only the beginning. A top secret, morally questionable, and highly lethal experiment is inadvertently released amidst the disaster.

After slaughtering most of the scientific and military personnel, the creature seeks fresh hunting grounds - and the Whiteout Ski Resort is so very close and brimming with fresh, delicious prey...
