列車即將到站──
今天,車窗外是否出現了不尋常的改變?
早上08:04 / 傍晚05:56
日復一日,瑞秋固定搭乘早晚兩班倫敦通勤列車。但,她的目的地與一般人並不相同。
列車每天準時在同一站停靠,透過車窗外掠過的景象,她窺見了軌道旁15號住戶的生活片段。她想像那對陌生夫妻過得很幸福,還給兩人分別取了名字,在腦海中編造他們的人生。有時候,男主人的目光似乎盯著車廂裡的她……難道,在疾駛而過的瞬間,他也認出了她?
一天早上,瑞秋從新聞頭條得知,15號女主人竟已失蹤多日。她這才想起,車窗外的景象似乎曾透露不尋常的線索。但就在當晚,警方找上了瑞秋,要為失蹤案約談她。
這是怎麼回事?只在想像中互動的陌生人、隔絕於車窗之外的事件,為何開始與她有了交集?
她,可不只是與你擦身而過的通勤乘客。

EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
UNTIL TODAY
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?
