Twelve terrifying days follow, for Susan and her family, as well as for her father and the fellow hostages on the train. Susan's father is editor-in-chief of a major newspaper. He mainly lives for his work. When he threatens to be shot, he realizes how important his family is to him. When hijacker Noes lets him live, he realizes that he gets another chance.
