A Family Pushed to the Edge of Survival

Frostbite is a family-driven, emotionally grounded survival story set in a cold-driven zombie outbreak that escalates as temperatures fall.

Deep in the isolated mountains of Western Colorado, a father and his teenage daughter find themselves cut off from civilization as a catastrophic virus spreads through the wilderness. The infected don't just survive the cold — they thrive in it. As temperatures plunge, the creatures grow faster, stronger, and more relentless.

With limited resources, treacherous terrain, and the weight of a fractured relationship between them, the two must confront not only the horror closing in from the darkness — but the distance that has grown between them. Survival demands more than endurance. It demands trust.

The story unfolds across isolated winter terrain where plunging temperatures, limited resources, and treacherous geography amplify the danger at every turn.

The cold doesn't just kill you here. It makes the things hunting you stronger.
