Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are the Golden Globe- and Oscar-winning composers of the soundtracks to David Fincher's films "The Social Network", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and "Gone Girl". Both are also members of Nine Inch Nails and How to Destroy Angels. The music is electronic in basis, but mostly organic sounding with lots of experiments and emphasis on sound fraying around the edges while focusing on the proper emotional tone for the various scenes.

Rachel Watson is a 33-year-old alcoholic drowning in a sea of fractured memories, self-loathing, and severe blackout spells. Unemployed and desperately hiding her unraveling life from her weary roommate Cathy, Rachel maintains a hollow daily routine: taking the 8:04 commuter train to London and back. The tracks cut directly past Blenheim Road, the affluent suburb where her charismatic ex-husband Tom now lives with his pristine new wife, Anna, and their infant daughter. To escape her grim reality, Rachel fixates on a couple living a few doors down, fabricating a perfect, idealized life for them from her train window.In reality, that idyllic world is a mirage. The woman, Megan Hipwell, is a deeply troubled bohemian running from a tragic past through destructive affairs, including one with her empathetic therapist, Dr. Kamal Abdic. One morning, Rachel witnesses Megan embracing a stranger from the train window. The very next night, fueled by a heavy binger, Rachel awakens covered in blood with no memory of what happened. When Megan suddenly vanishes, Detective Inspector Gary Gaskill identifies Rachel as a prime suspect due to her drunken stalking.Determined to find the truth, Rachel embeds herself in the investigation, lying her way into the lives of Megan’s volatile husband, Scott, and Dr. Abdic. As Megan’s pregnant body is discovered, Rachel’s mental fog slowly clears under the intense pressure of Gaskill's interrogation. She uncovers a horrifying truth: the missing pieces of her memory point directly to Tom, who has been brutally gaslighting her for years to mask his own sociopathic patterns. In a gripping, rain-slicked climax on Blenheim Road, Rachel and a terrified Anna must unite to survive Tom's violent desperation. David Fincher’s adaptation strips away the slick hollywood gloss to deliver a cold, atmospheric, and fiercely faithful British neo-noir about the agonizing weight of trauma.
