Kate, a depressed thirty‑something who has just survived a suicide attempt by slitting her wrists, spends a brief moment in the hospital before deciding nothing has changed. She leaves in only a hospital gown, a black coat and thin sandals, and wanders to a bus station. There she asks the attendant for a ticket “to wherever,” pointing ambiguously in a direction. On the bus she meets Barry Tubb, a stranger whose unexpected connection gradually restores her will to live.
