It is 1941 and the world is at war. Just outside a small village in Switzerland there is a chateau far away from all the turmoil. You and several others have come here to find some peace and quiet, hoping to relax before you return to the troubles of everyday life.  But trouble has found its way here. A tourist named Dr. Higgs has been murdered and the crime may very well have international significance. A severe snow storm has temporarily stranded everyone here, but you and everyone else are running out of time. Because when the storm ends, the killer (if left undiscovered) will escape with information that could very well mean the ultimate demise of the free world.
