Narrow Margin

An L.A. District Attorney attempts to take an unwilling murder witness back to the United States to testify against a top-level mob boss.

For the next 20 hours, as the train hurls through the beautiful but isolated Canadian wilderness, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in which their ability to tell friend from foe is a matter of life and death.
