Emma is a young graduate who has everything settled. Bright girl with a flourishing future ahead of her. She doesn't leave anything to the hazard, all planned out from her morning routine to her job search deadline.
However, her life would take an unexpected twist - the words that Emma despises the most- when she took the train back home. Little did she know, that her life will never be the same after taking the 2 Am train. The weirdness, the scary events that occurred on the train, the passengers' behaviors. Especially the tattooed man with the austere manners called by his suspicious folks by BOSS would send Emma chills down her spine. Her mind besieged by questions and her heart filled with unwelcomed feelings...
Her inhibitions as in the Ifs and her norms as in the Nots may be mortified slowly and utterly by the end of this journey or maybe forever...
