Summary
Rachel, divorced, fantasies about the ideal life of an unknown couple. One day, she surprises the woman with another man, and then she sees her again in the newspapers: she disappeared. Between the suburbs where she lives and London, Rachel takes the train twice a day: at 8:04 a.m., at 5:56 p.m., and every day she observes, at a stop, a pretty house below the railway. This house, she knows her by heart, she even gave a name to her occupants: Jason and Jess. A couple she imagines perfect. Happy, like Rachel and her husband could have been in the past, before he cheated on her, before he left her. Until that morning when Rachel sees Jess in her garden with a man other than Jason. Would the young woman have an affair? Bubbled to see her model couple risking to disintegrate like hers, Rachel decides to know more. A few days later, she discovers with stupeur the photo of a face that is now familiar to the familiar one.
