Rough Outline For My Opening Scene

A male photographer who works for a national newspaper is asked by his boss to drive to a remote countryside village to follow up on a story the newspaper are running (we will hear the conversation between the boss of the newspaper and the photographer, Jim, as he is driving to his destination). 

On the way to the shoot, Jim's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, forcing him to seek help by asking the inhabitants of an old manor house a couple of miles down the road from where he has broken down.

Here he encounters a strange woman who invites him in as part of the equinox celebration.
