It's 1998, and pill-popping siblings Jennie and Simian have a problem: they are in danger of losing their sacred space by the Hudson River as part of AmTrain’s plan to create a bullet line from NYC to Albany.

Tracks (or The People Who Live Here) reminds us that we all become mythical characters to those daydream out the windows of a speeding passenger train, imagining what life must be like under a Catskill moon.
