The incarceration of an innocent, young Afghan man provokes his radicalised brother to hijack a Yorkshire commuter train in order to negotiate his release with the President of Afghanistan.

Oblivious to the event that is about to occur, Sergeant Billy Williams is talking on the phone with his boss, Sergeant Major Crane, when a mysterious group of cyclists board the train.

In a sudden turn of events, one of the cyclists pulls the emergency lever as the train approaches the Ribblehead Viaduct, a 100ft structure with a deathly fall.

As chaos ensues, Billy realises the severity of the situation.

The six hijackers are armed with guns and bombs attached to their bicycles and are prepared to do anything, even if it results in the death of innocent people.

Their leader, Kourash, keeps a close eye on the eight hostages and demands that the Afghans release his brother or else he will proceed with his malicious plan.

A team of specialists is called to the case immediately – Sergeant Major Crane has inside information from Billy who updates him regularly from his hidden phone, and Mike Keane has been requested to work as a negotiator to convince Kourash and his team to release the hostages.

The team must act efficiently to ensure the wellbeing of the distressed passengers.

Will the team be able to negotiate with the terrorists?

How many lives will be lost in the dreadful situation?
