What Is The Plot Of Route 187?

According to its production summary, the film centers on bus driver who has to travel a crime-filled route where thugs and murderers roam.

The city of South Winslow is a crime-ridden nightmare where hard-working citizens struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. But when a veteran bus driver on Route 187, and a star high school basketball player, a passenger on that ill-fated bus, are beaten to death by a group of thugs for no reason other than a delight in violence and mayhem, the community goes into a state of collective shock as the culprits, caught on video, are sought by the authorities.
