A grisly murder stokes class division on Snowpiercer, the Great Ark Train. Melanie Cavill, the powerful head of hospitality, deputizes a dangerous rebel to help solve the killing -- Andre Layton, the world's only surviving homicide detective.

Layton descends into the black market with Till, searching for both the killer and a valuable commodity for his revolution. Melanie stages a prize fight to distract the passengers from mounting class tension.

A shocking twist in the murder investigation brings Layton and Till's manhunt to a cat-and-mouse climax. But Layton is getting too close to Melanie's big secret, which may prove the most dangerous game of all.

Revolution has finally come. As Layton leads the lower classes forward in armed rebellion, Melanie's house of cards collapses.

The rebel forces are on their heels when a dangerous foe joins them. A plan is hatched to take the train, but it may destroy them all.

In the revolution's aftermath, Layton and Melanie realize the greatest threat to their survival is right over their shoulder.

Layton and Miss Audrey make a risky play for Big Alice, but Wilford has his own plans.
