EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train each and every morning and night. On a daily basis she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to day by day watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even began 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 actually 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?
