She has even started to feel like she knows them, believing their life mirrors her own recent loss. Everything changes one day when Rachel witnesses something shocking from the train. Though only a minute remains before the train moves on, that moment is enough to alter her life forever. Unable to keep what she saw to herself, she goes to the police, but questions about her reliability soon arise. As the investigation unfolds, Rachel becomes deeply entangled in the lives of everyone involved, raising the question: has she done more harm than good?
