A dark psychological thriller built on unreliable perception and memory, where an alcoholic woman's obsessive fantasies entangle her in a murder investigation she may not fully understand.

Rachel Watson, devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.
