A tense survival thriller that subverts prepper expectations by delivering an unforeseen catastrophe that tests both physical skills and human bonds in a harsh winter setting.

Anticipating a disaster, Antoine, a father, attends a survivalist training given by Alain in his autonomous hideout. In fear of a natural, economic or social crisis, the group trains to face the different possible apocalyptic scenarios. But the disaster they will experience will not be the one they predicted.
