The narrative follows private detective Nick Carter called to investigate the disappearance and apparent death of a young woman found under mysterious circumstances at a locked, long-closed estate. Clues include an impossible set of tracks in fresh snow, a sealed gate, contradictory accounts from her father and witnesses, and hints that she was lured there by deception.
