Summary
Whilst the police are busy pursuing a serial killer in Auveraux, a
small provincial French town, a man named De Rock is patiently waiting
for his train at the local railway station. Laurent, a journalist
who has been reporting the murder case, arrives at the station for the
next train to Paris. Lidia, a young woman, is also at the
station, anxiously waiting for someone to turn up. A wealthy
couple, Diane and Gabriel Damerville, then appear, and it is obvious to
everyone present that they hate one another. With two hours to
kill before the train arrives, Laurent turns his mind to the murder
case. He begins to suspect that Nenette, an old man who works at
the station as a cleaner, may be the culprit. He then gets a
tip-off from Diane, to the effect that her husband is the killer...
