About A private detective hired to tail a man from Chicago to L.A. The man is a missing person who was presumed dead after the WTC attacks. Private detective John Rosow is hired to tail a man on a train from Chicago to Los Angeles. Rosow gradually uncovers the man's identity as a missing person; one of the thousands presumed dead after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Persuaded by a large reward, Rosow is charged with bringing the missing person back to his wife in New York City.

My 5 cents Two faves of mine, Shannon and Ryan are two upcoming actors that are in their prime, Shannons up for this years Oscars and is my pick. Comparisons are The Transsiberian, World Trade Center and The Fugitive. Of note lead Shannon has worked with Ryan in before the devil and Venitmiglia in Jesus Son.

Recommendation Buy, I hope this is Shannon's break out role - there seems to be enough here for him to work with, dark role, twists and all. It is getting good reviews but it looks like its gonna be an indie.
