When a boy sets off alone on his first train journey, he expects nothing more frightening than getting lost. But when the train stops at the entrance to a dark tunnel, a mysterious woman in white appears to keep him company. As the hours pass, she tells him a series of unsettling tales filled with ghosts, strange visitors and terrible secrets. Each story is more disturbing than the last, and the boy begins to wonder who his companion really is—and whether he will ever leave the tunnel.
