It's late. Dark. A boy rushes to catch a train, leaping aboard just before it pulls away. Suddenly he realises that it's the wrong train. He's annoyed of course, but not scared . . . Yet.
He gets off at the next station, but the platform's empty, and it doesn't look like any station he's seen before. But he's still not scared . . . Yet.
Then a stranger arrives - someone with stories to help pass the time. Only these aren't any old stories. These are nightmares, and they come with a price to pay . . .
Scared yet? You will be.
