It is a dark and stormy night when Jeff boards the Cornish sleeper train at Paddington station. As they make their way down the dark British coast, waves crash over the carriages and the wheels rattle in the gale.

The next day, another is found dead on a windswept beach. Jeff can't accept these are coincidences. Could he hold the clue to catch the killer who boarded the Cornish train?
