The Fifth Passenger

Four passengers. One driver. One road they should never have taken.

Delhi is disappearing beneath January fog when a cancelled Chandigarh flight forces four strangers to share a white Innova north.

Ira Madaan is an exhausted nurse with a wedding seven weeks away.

Neel Bhasin is a corporate executive whose phone contains conversations his wife should never see.

Susan Samuel is a television journalist who notices everything.

And Gurjeet Sandhu, a retired Delhi policeman, knows the road ahead far better than he initially admits.

Parvez Alam only has to get them safely to Chandigarh.

Then traffic forces them off the highway.

The alternate route leads towards Khera Bridge, a place wrapped in old stories about accidents, winter fog and a woman drivers claim to have seen beside the road.

Gurjeet tells Parvez not to take it.

Nobody listens.

At the far end of the bridge, their headlights find a young woman standing alone beside a suitcase.

She says her cab abandoned her.

She is going to Chandigarh too.

Against Gurjeet's warning, they let her into the car.

After that, the journey stops behaving like a journey.

The fog thickens. The road becomes unfamiliar. Private secrets begin surfacing inside a vehicle full of people who were strangers only hours earlier. And every mile makes one question harder to ignore:

Why was she waiting for them?

The Fifth Passenger is a claustrophobic supernatural horror thriller about five strangers, one impossible journey and the terrible things that follow people who believe the past has finished with them.

They should have waited for the next flight.
