A quiet holiday house becomes a bustling hub when three college friends—Arden, Terry and Sim—take over the Westover home while its owners travel south. With the house staff, Moselle and her daughter Althea, keeping the everyday chores running, the girls settle into their new roles, juggling studies and the festive spirit. Their plans brighten further when a letter arrives, promising a visit from Dorothy Keene, a fellow freshman, just in time for the Christmas celebrations.

Yet the invitation carries an unexpected twist: the arrival is set for the eleven‑o’clock train, and the girls sense something off‑kilter about the timing. As they prepare for the guest, rumors of the nearby Jockey Hollow—a place whispered about for its eerie past—begin to surface, and a stray comment hints at a hidden secret waiting to be uncovered. With curiosity sparked and the house’s old walls echoing with intrigue, the trio finds themselves drawn into a puzzling mystery that could change their holiday forever.
