When the quiet town of Deerpoint, Va., is hit by a blizzard, a mysterious girl named Eva steps out of a snow bank and into the lives of 15 teenagers who are asked to help her in a search. What Eva’s searching for — and who she truly is — becomes a mystery that baffles, divides and energizes the teens of Deerpoint.

The play is most appropriate for upper elementary students and older.
