Facing an impossible deadline, journalist Ava Mercer bypasses the police and visits the home of the missing girl, Maya Reeves. Ava shows Maya's mother, Diana, the recent photo from Platform Three, confirming Maya is alive. Diana shares Maya's journal entries about haunting dreams of a train, and reveals Maya left home late one night with a train ticket to the same non-existent destination—Ashbourne Junction—dated three weeks prior.

Further investigation reveals a chilling pattern: five teenagers have vanished near Harrow Point in the past two years, mirroring three disappearances when the station closed in 1999. Ava tracks down Harold Brennan, a security guard from 1999, who confirms he saw the "impossible train" take one of the missing teens, Michael Ortiz, into the tunnel, confirming the terrifying reality of the Midnight Crossings. Harold also reveals the station was secretly built over an old, unmarked cemetery.

The unknown sender sends one final ultimatum: Meet at Platform Three tonight, midnight, alone. Ava returns and, as the phantom train arrives and the doors open, she sees Maya Reeves trapped inside mouthing "Help me." Making the ultimate sacrifice, Ava runs and boards the train just as the doors close, leaving the world of the living behind to save the missing teen.
