Paige invited her friends, Court, Faith, and Blanche, for a girls' getaway at her mountain cabin. After they arrive, an ice storm hits, and they are stranded with no phone or internet.

They share secrets about their lives and some shared events from High School, and then we learn that three of them have been blackmailed by someone. The plot seems predictable, but then it twists, and we don’t know what to expect. One of them turns up dead. It looks like it may be suicide, but it is questionable. The other three try to leave but end up wrecking the car. They are stuck with each other until the ice melts. However, one of them may be a murderer.

Was the death a murder? Will the other three make it out alive, and will one confess to the murder if they do?

The title suggests “Don’t Trust Her.” The question is, who is “the her”?
