1925: In a race against time, against those who hate and kill, there are those who sometimes have to be killed.

The depths of Prohibition. Bootleggers are bloodying the streets. Easy money and Wall Street insider trading are secretly picking its winners and losers. Lynchings and mob justice fatten the headlines, and the Klu Klux Klan is marching by the thousands while its leader poisons his mistress.

But there is a rebellion, and it is embodied in a young "flapper", equal to any man, and one cool Pullman porter, who ride the trains in a race against time.

Welcome to MIDNIGHT SLEEPER, Series 1.
