The Channel Tunnel's inaugural high-speed service becomes the target of an unusual heist. A diverse group of criminals boards the train with a plan that goes far beyond stealing money. Their real objective involves orchestrating the imprisonment of a specific politician. As the train speeds through the underwater tunnel connecting Britain and France, the hijackers must execute their complex scheme while managing passengers and evading authorities. The confined space of the speeding train creates mounting pressure as their unconventional mission unfolds. This isn't about financial gain but about justice, revenge, or political manipulation. The criminals face the challenge of controlling their mobile prison while ensuring their target ends up behind bars. The story explores what drives ordinary people to extraordinary crimes when the system fails them.
