From her commuter train, Rachel watches a couple whose life she imagines is happier than her own. When the woman disappears, Rachel believes something she has seen could help, but drinking and gaps in her memory make her an unreliable witness. Her involvement draws her toward her former husband and into lives that look very different away from the train window.
