Aurais-tu pu survivre au terrible verglas de 1998?
Un verglas terrible frappe Montréal et une partie de l'Est du Canada. Ethan est à Montréal avec sa belle-mère Sylvie. Cette dernière doit accoucher dans moins d'un mois. Le père d'Ethan est à Toronto pour le travail, et la météo est tellement mauvaise qu'il ne peut pas rentrer à la maison.
Quand une panne d'électricité survient et perdure, Ethan et sa belle-mère tentent de s'adapter. Sans chauffage, il fait de plus en plus froid dans la maison, et les bougies ne parviennent pas à éclairer convablement la maison. Mais Ethan s'apprête à affronter quelque chose de bien plus grave que le froid et la noirceur : Sylvie sent le bébé qui arrive!
Caught in the vicious ice storm of 1998, would you survive?
A severe ice storm hits Montreal and parts of Eastern Canada. Ethan's dad is in Toronto on business and his step mom, Sylvie, is going to have a baby in about three weeks. The weather is so bad his dad can't fly home. When the power goes off in their building, they try to adjust, but it's cold despite all the blankets, and it's dark despite candles and flashlights. Sylvie suddenly feels unwell. Is the baby coming early? Ethan needs to act fast to help his family. Will they survive?
