Synopsis: Horror. A young woman, Kate, falls asleep whilst waiting for the last tube train home at Charing Cross station. She awakens to find herself alone, but shortly a train pulls in in which she is seemingly the only passenger. Halfway through a tunnel the train suddenly grinds to a halt and the lights go out. She finds herself fending off an attack from a sleazy colleague who has followed her, but there is something far worse in the tunnels. He is killed by the horrible thing which lurks in the system of tunnels in the Underground and she too finds herself in a nightmare situation of being pursued by the thing.
