Breathless is a story of two people from opposite spectrums colliding on a train one late night in Chicago, Illinois. A young woman from the suburbs and a wannabe thug from the inner city engage in a unique conversation that forces them to discover they are more similar than they thought. Both people are trapped in a world they do not want to live in, both people are dying to breathe.
