Take four strangers arriving in London on the same train one weekday morning, then follow them as their various endeavours sees them criss-cross the capital before they take on the same service north later in the day. Will the injured sportsman be given a clean bill of health - or will he leave the capital more uncertain of his future than ever? Will the ambitious PA be successful in her interview - or find she is unable to free herself from the shackles of her past life? Will the repentant brother be rewarded with the forgiveness of his siblings or a longed for reacquaintance with God? Will the egotistical playwright rise above the disappointment of a commercial 'flop' to reaffirm his course to self-anointed greatness? Or will the City - and Life - beat them all down, four characters struggling to defeat the insistent demands of living?
