Strangers on the A Train

Strangers on the A Train is a story about two commuters riding the A Train who listen to very different podcasts, only to collide with disastrous results. When timid Ben gets on a stopped A Train at the 207th Station, he begins listening to "Being A Bro" -- a podcast dedicated to picking up girls. Sitting behind Ben is working professional Jessica, listening to "The Murder Ladies" -- a true crime podcast. When Ben eyes Jessica, he's certain he has found his true love. But Jessica is certain that Ben's intentions are murderous. Ben follows Jessica off the train and into the bowels of the subway station, determined to ask her out on a date. Jessica, certain she's being stalked by a serial killer promptly stabs him in the neck with the only thing in her pocket: a pencil. Some time later, with a freshly bandaged neck wound, Ben now listens to a new podcast: "Birds of Prey" -- a true crime podcast about violent women. As a creepy woman eyes him from another seat, Ben realizes his train commute isn't as safe as he once thought.
