The film’s plot is set in motion by a "butterfly effect" chain of events: a stolen bicycle in Estonia leads to a fatal train crash in Denmark. Among the victims is the wife of Markus (Mads Mikkelsen), a stoic, emotionally stunted soldier. While Markus is prepared to accept the death as a senseless accident, he is approached by Otto (Nikolaj Lie Kaas), a statistics expert and fellow passenger who uses probability algorithms to "prove" the crash was a targeted assassination by a criminal gang called the "Riders of Justice".
