Edmund and Rachel have recently renovated an old cottage in the country. They invite a couple of friends to stay for Christmas and sitting down to their lavish evening Christmas meal, everything seems idyllic. The four friends have everything they could wish for, that is, until things start to go dreadfully wrong. The lights go out as there is no electricity, Edmund complains that the wine tastes like blood and the food makes the friends violently ill. Worse still the house will not let the party leave.

The pilot of a passenger airliner is forced to make an evasive manoeuvre when he spots an aircraft on a collision course. Upon landing in England, Captain Rolf is questioned about what he had seen that evening, as the German aviation authorities dispute his explanation. Maybe the aging pilot was hallucinating or was it a more ghostly vision?

Jane and Frank Pullar move to the country so that their children can grow up away from city pollution. Soon after their move, Jane hears a woman crying in the attic room although there is no one there. As neither Frank nor the children have heard anything out of the ordinary, it is thought that Jane is suffering from depression and perhaps schizophrenia. Possibly the real answer is far more terrifying for the family.
