The Winter People is a story about a mother and daughter at a crossroad. Faced with the prospect of losing their family’s summer cottage in a nasty divorce settlement, Anne and Sarah Hanlon drive down to Cape Cod to close up the house for the winter. Generations of memories come flooding back as they enter the cold, quiet house for what could be the last time. Sarah heard rumors that there are spirits or winter people who inhabit the beach houses during the off season. Anne dismisses her daughter’s musings as childish fantasy. Meanwhile unmade beds and unrecognizable lipstick confirm Sarah’s suspicions. Anne knows what she believes to be the truth, however, and the pain of her husband’s philandering comes rushing back. When a charming plumber named Martin arrives to shut off the water, Anne experiences a strange sense of de-ja vu. Sarah is skeptical, prodding Martin for information about the winter people. In a strange twist of events both Mother and Daughter’s inklings are confirmed as the story throws us into an intergenerational limbo, clarifying once and for all the truth about the existence of the winter people and opening the door to a world beyond the one we understand.
