During a heavy snow storm travelling in London is difficult and a chance meeting at a taxi queue between Abe and Richard opens up a realm of possibilities. Abe is in his early twenties and Richard is married and I had him pitched in his late forties maybe. Both characters are well described and the plot is excellent. The chapters change from the perspective of one character to another, including characters within Abe's and Richard's lives.
