London, December 1891. Ada Whitmore is on the night train to Dover, on her way to Paris for Christmas. In the next compartment, a nervous bank clerk is locked in by the guard. In the fog, the train stops for four minutes near a tunnel. At Dover the door is still locked, and the compartment is empty.
