Synopsis

Forced into retirement against his will after decades spent working deep underground, Dave boards the late shift train with little fanfare or ceremony. His replacement is already onboard: Mark, a nervous newcomer assigned to help implement a new computerised system designed to automate many aspects of Dave's long-standing job. Young, efficient, and quietly idealistic, Mark represents everything Dave resents - and fears - the relentless march of technology and the loss of traditional skills that shaped his identity and pride. But when an explosive misfire ahead causes a section of the tunnel to collapse, the train is forced to an abrupt and terrifying halt, trapping everyone onboard. Dust hangs thick in the stale air, mingling with the metallic scent of overheated machinery. Cut off from the surface, with emergency systems failing, communication dwindling to silence, and water running perilously low - the situation quickly escalates from a simple mechanical failure into a dire, existential threat to all lives onboard. Mark and Dave must confront buried secrets before time and trust run out.
