At the start of the story, we are introduced to Agatha, a nervous girl in mourning, and her friends as they prepare to board the train from Greenbrier. Accompanied by their older companion Frank, they anticipate a joyous holiday celebration at their destination, Riverton. However, moments after setting off, they find themselves on the wrong train due to Frank's overconfidence and failure to inquire about the route, leading to unforeseen challenges and snowy weather.
