In a city like Buenos Aires, where snow has only fallen three times in recorded history, snowflakes begin to fall unexpectedly, covering the streets in a beauty that is as hypnotic as it is terrifying.
But this weather phenomenon hides a deadly threat: the flakes kill instantly upon contact, triggering a large-scale tragedy. Amid the chaos, a great mystery arises: where does this threat come from, and what other horrors might lie ahead? Among the few who remain alive, a man named Juan Salvo decides to confront this invisible force.
