Synopsis
After dropping out of college in Chicago, Doug (Cris Lankenau)
returns home to rainy Portland, Oregon to live with his more stable
and responsible sister, Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn). Unsure of what to
do next, Doug spends his days sleeping until noon and rereading old
detective novels, while Gail goes about the daily routines of her
quiet life. Eventually Doug manages to find a job working the night
shift at an ice factory. There he meets Carlos (Raul Castillo), a
longtime employee who moonlights as a DJ. Carlos is initially
skeptical of Doug (he's seen all kinds of people pass through the
job) but the two become friends after Doug lends him a copy of his
favorite book, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Doug has not quite settled into his new life when Rachel (Robyn
Rikoon), his former girlfriend from Chicago, arrives in town. Doug
is wary of her, but he introduces her to Carlos and Gail. Later,
when Rachel fails to turn up one night, Carlos is convinced
something has happened to her. At first Doug and Gail think that he
has read too much Sherlock Holmes, but soon they too start to
suspect foul play. With Doug in the lead, relying largely on
expertise gained from years of reading detective novels, they set
out to investigate. What they discover is a complex trail of clues,
leading them closer and closer to the mysterious truth about Rachel.
COLD WEATHER is simultaneously a story of a brother and sister
getting to know each other after years apart and a mystery in the
great tradition of crime and detective fiction.
