Fin (Peter Dinklage) is a loner with a passion for trains. He inherits an abandoned train station in the middle of nowhere - a perfect place for a man who wants to live in solitude.  Soon after moving in, he discovers his isolated depot is more like Grand Central Station.  He is reluctantly befriended by a loud-mouthed hot dog vendor and a clumsy, grieving artist, both dealing with their own issues. In spite of himself, Fin gets swept in their lives, and find connections he never knew he needed.  

Rated R, 89 min.

Hosted by the Maryland City at Russett Library
