In the last decade of the 20th century, a beautiful young woman wearing 19th century clothing is found floating on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. When rescued, she utters only one word, "Titanic."

The woman is taken to an isolated spot on the coast of Maine, where a mysterious man, an expert on the 1912 sinking of the liner, skeptical of her claim, has arranged to interrogate the woman for six days. His goal: to crack her story, get her to confess she's a fake and reveal her true identity. With some misgivings this man John is assisted by a Dr. Halbrech. The woman proves to be quite an adversary and John is drawn closer to her, even as he becomes more desperate to learn the truth. In a final attempt to crack her he confronts her with the last known Titanic survivor, Francis Kittle. At play’s end, the identities of all the characters have been questioned and many secrets revealed on this trip on the Scotland Road.
