The investigation into the murder reveals deep-seated resentments and conspiracies that threaten to tear apart the fabric of the train's society.
Meanwhile, Layton (Daveed Diggs), a member of the lower class who has been leading a rebellion against the ruling elite, faces a moral dilemma as he becomes more entrenched in the politics of the train. He must decide whether to stick to his values and fight for the rights of his fellow passengers, or compromise his principles in order to secure a better position for himself and his allies.
As the tensions escalate, a game of cat and mouse unfolds between the different factions, with each side trying to gain the upper hand in the struggle for survival.
