The first episode, "Snowpiercer," introduces viewers to the train and its passengers. The story follows the lives of the passengers in the tail cars of the train, who live in squalid conditions and are ruled by the brutal and oppressive Wilford (played by Sean Bean), who claims to be the benevolent ruler of the entire train. The main character, Curtis Everett (played by Chris Evans), becomes determined to lead a rebellion against Wilford and the train's elite.
"Snowpiercer" is a science fiction television series based on the 2013 film of the same name, which was inspired by the 1982 graphic novel "Transperceneige" by Jacques Lob, Jean-Marc Rochette, and Nam June Paik. The series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where an experiment to stop global warming has gone catastrophically wrong, freezing the entire planet. The only survivors live on a massive train, the Snowpiercer, which perpetually circles a frozen post-apocalyptic world.

The train's population is strictly divided:
