Raya is a lost soul, going through the motions of life without a dream of her own.
One night, on her subway ride home, Raya s thoughts wander too far. She wakes on the Elsewhere Express, a magical train that offers its passengers a sense of purpose, peace, and belongingThe journey is a chance for Raya to reimagine her life but only if she finds her compartment before time runs out.

Once aboard, Raya meets an intriguing artist named Q and together they race to find their place on the train, through a boarding car carpeted in meadow grass and along a dining carriage where passengers picnic on lilypads.

But a mysterious stowaway has boarded with them, and with it a dark, malignant magic that threatens to destroy the trainThe closer Raya comes to uncovering the stowaway's identity, the nearer she draws to the ultimate question:

What is her life's true purpose and is it a destination the Elsewhere Express can take her to?
