College Freshman Sam wants to hang out with his friends across campus in a winter storm. When he arrives, he finds his friends telling spooky ghost stories, one being the tale of "The Snowman". 30 years ago, a fratman got stuffed in a snowman as a prank during a party. This snowman now lurks the campuses in winter storms to find lone freshmen and force them to drink Snowball Whiskey. Sam doesn't believe them, making fun of the snowman. His friends press how serious it truly is but Sam does not listen and returns to his dorm. On his way there he gets lost in a wooded part of campus where the snowman approaches and jumps Sam. Sam attempts to run away but is caught by the force of nature that is The Snowman. Will Sam make it out alive or will he fall victim to the winter storm's avatar?

Amid a long-dead wasteland, two scavengers duel by bartering their esoteric findings at the Trade Pit, where value means survival.
