This Train races us through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder named Nora, a yippy dog named Mugzy, and Ross, a too-curious poet. On board, it's a countdown to murder….

On this train, there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and crises of conscience. This train harbors the perfect couple's conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe and the sleaziest billionaire. On this train, there is a suicide ticket, a bomb, sex, love, and loneliness, a heist, revenge, and redemption.

This Train is a ticking clock, roaring through forty-seven fictional hours of nonstop suspense and action, through the challenges of now: racism, sexism, global warming, what it means to be alive. This train carries all of us. All aboard!
