Storyline

Someone is murdered on a bus, and detectives are called in to figure out who did it and why it happened. They bring in everyone who was aboard that day—passengers, crew members, and witnesses—questioning them carefully about their movements, their motives, and what they saw. As each person tells their version of events, buried secrets and contradictions bubble to the surface, multiple suspects emerge, and dark hidden truths are slowly revealed that change how investigators understand the crime.

A bus ride. A murder. Everyone's a suspect.
