Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Each day, she sped along the tracks, flashing past a large swath of cozy suburban homes, stopping in front of a signal so she could see the same couple eating breakfast on deck every day. She even felt like she knew them. "Jesse and Jason," she called them. In her opinion, their lives were perfect. Like the life she lost recently.
Then she saw something shocking. It was only a minute away from the train, but it was enough. Now everything has changed. Unable to keep secrets, Rachel provides the police with everything she knows and is inevitably embroiled in what happens next, and the lives of everyone involved. Does what she does does more harm than good?

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?
