On a journey home from the fictional country of Bandrika, Iris Henderson, an English tourist, plans to marry soon and return to normal life. Her escape route is suddenly interrupted when an avalanche blocks the railway line, forcing stranded travelers to spend an uneasy night at a local hotel. Among the company are two cricket-obsessed friends, Charters and Caldicott, who are eager to witness the final days of a Test match in Manchester, and Miss Froy, a governess and music teacher whose calm presence contrasts with the growing tension around them. That same evening, a street performance ends in tragedy as the folk singer is murdered by an unseen assailant, sending a shiver through the carriage-turned-inn.
