On a midnight train to Atlanta, Jericho Whitfield, a former slave, plans to avenge the murder of his daughter - who was scalped by his old master. Jericho's mission is to scalp and kill Annie Hargraves - his old master's teenage daughter. The only thing standing in Jericho's way is a vicious mercenary hired to protect Annie. But they all soon discover that there is something far scarier than the three of them on the train - and they will have to work together if they want to survive this journey to hell.
