When Meryl, a lonely artist, and Nick, an emotionally distant photojournalist, meet in the aftermath of a train accident, their mutual attraction places them at the center of a brightly colored romantic tragic comedy that examines life’s limits, risks and mysteries. Their lives, and the lives of a handful of other witnesses and victims, are revealed and transformed as ripples of fate, coincidence, regret and desire link stranger to stranger, and everyone becomes a survivor.
