2 teachers, man-hungry Doris as well as restrained Marian, see the Yorkshire moors a year after friend Evelyn disappeared there. On a stormy night, they take haven in the isolated cottage of Stephen, one-time pianist shell-shocked in the Spanish Civil War. Doris runs away as soon as the flooding subsides; however Marian's suspicions regarding Evelyn's destiny, in conflict with her expanding love for Stephen, prompt her to stay on among the misty bogs.
