Who is the secretive Carlos and why does he seem to be watching Lady Snellthorpe? As she finds herself becoming more and more attracted to him she is sure that stress is causing her to imagine things.

Events unfold that cause her to doubt Carlos and when one of the passengers meets with a tragic accident the doubts multiply.
