SYNOPSIS:

Young Myles is down on his luck after losing his girl, his job and his mother within a tight window. Desperate for employment, with the help of his brother-in-law Brody, he reluctantly takes a position as a Metrocity Bus Operator.

An unpleasant encounter with an angry Bike Courier foreshadows a looming horrific crash. When Myles runs down said Bike Courier late one night while deadheading back to the garage, he's immediately discovered by Max, a senior Bus Operator who offers to help cover up the accident. Max contacts several others to help with the ghastly deed.

With the Bike Courier's body deep under the ice, Myles suffers the guilt and fear of what he's done. But now he finds himself a member of the secretive group of bus operators who've all managed to get away with their fatal mistakes.

When he's asked to help disappear another body, Myles realizes just how incredibly dangerous these people are, and to what extent they'll go to bury their secrets.
