Most of the movie takes place on the train. Unsurprisingly, a lot of tension is guaranteed in a very confined space: restricted freedom of movement, tight time limits, and many passengers with potential secrets of their own. The plot gains steam after he meets a mysterious woman. She made him an offer he can’t refuse. If he manages to find a murder witness on the train, he will receive $100,000. For the financially strapped Michael MacCauley, this is an opportunity he can’t pass up.

It doesn’t take long for him to realize that he has become an unwilling accomplice in a crime. However, there is a much bigger conspiracy at play here. He finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game within a moral dilemma.
