A boy with a cold becomes fascinated by a snow globe his grandfather crafted, and through its glass he witnesses a harrowing scene from his grandfather's past—a fire consuming an office building and a desperate race against time. As Roland watches the mysterious events unfold within the globe, he discovers details about that fateful night in 1935 that even his grandfather's clouded mind has struggled to hold onto. What Roland sees reflected in the snow globe may unlock the truth behind his grandfather's long years of illness and confusion.

What begins as a stunt to prove his courage becomes a chilling night he won't soon forget.
