Martin Stride is a retired rock star, enjoying the quiet life with his young family on their beautiful estate. On the edge of his grounds lies a derelict Edwardian railway station waiting room once used to transport troops in The Great War. Silent for many years, it has become a playground for Martin’s children but now they won’t go near it.

Strange occurrences in the waiting room lead Martin to seek the help of TV’s favourite ghost-hunter Julian Creed. But Creed’s psychic ability is a fabrication to gain viewers. He doesn’t believe in the paranormal. Until he spends a night in The Waiting Room.

Human passions are always at the root of Cottam's hauntings, and his skill is to tease out a complex tapestry of explanation, somethings stretching over decades.
