Synopsis

A carefully staged medical emergency allows thieves to steal a large payroll from a moving train. An insurance investigator and a railway detective are assigned to reconstruct a crime designed to leave very little time for witnesses to react. Their search exposes pressures that extend beyond the mechanics of the robbery.
