In the icy landscapes of Alaska, a story of desperation and survival unfolds when two prisoners escape from a penitentiary. One of them, the violent and charismatic "Manny," seeks a new beginning, while the quieter "Buck" only wishes to escape his terrible life. However, their plans quickly unravel as their flight turns into a wild race against time, boarding a driverless freight train that speeds along at high velocity.
As the train careens without direction, the three men find themselves trapped in a car filled with a growing sense of danger. Manny, with his brutal cunning and indomitable resilience, attempts to take control of the situation while the more naïve Buck feels overwhelmed by the madness surrounding him. Meanwhile, at the station, an elderly railroad worker, aware of the wayward train, becomes the only hope for an outcome that could save lives.
In this thrilling journey, questions arise about freedom, human nature, and the struggle for power. Despair and insanity intertwine in a breathtaking chase that challenges not only the men to survive but to confront their own choices and the paths that led them there. The tension mounts with each passing minute, in a journey that will leave both the characters and the audience teetering on the brink of the abyss.
