Picture yourself on a train, surrounded by fellow passengers. Consider the diverse lives they've led, the unique experiences they've had, and the common bond you all share: everyone has loved at some point. In this touching and unexpected story, four strangers embark on a journey from Edinburgh to London. Each carries a story of love intertwined with railways: for Mark, a fleeting encounter on a platform sparks an impulsive and potentially perilous decision; Kay reflects on the long journey back to her childhood home in Australia and the love she found there; David recalls a teenage friendship that blossomed into love; and Michael uncovers that art and people often have hidden depths. These varied experiences are united by a profound undercurrent of love. As one character notes, loving others is the good we bring to our lives.
