But when Rachel sees something shocking through the train window, and can’t help but dig into what happened, she sets off a chain of events with shocking consequences. To dull the pain, liven up her dreary life, and further self-destruct, Rachel crafts idealistic stories about their neighbors, imagining up lives she wishes she could have herself.
