Get ready for the most nerve-jangling train journey of your life in this BBC1 thriller about a sleeper service that's hijacked by cyber terrorists!

Set in real-time, the opening episode of this six-parter begins when off-duty cop Joe Roag (Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole) takes his seat on an overnight train from Glasgow to London.

However, the service is hijacked - or 'hack-jacked' - by a dangerous group who hold all aboard hostage as they hurtle across the country.
