Beth’s commute could lead to love – but something dark is on the tracks.
After moving house, lonely librarian Beth meets Isaac – a handsome man with timeless manners – on her way to work. Sharing the same antiquated tram day after day, the pair become close and Beth suspects she’s falling in love.
But Isaac has a secret that threatens their budding romance. Something dark and as magical as the tram that picks her up every morning and evening.
Why does he suddenly push her away? Does he really not care for her? How could she have got the signals so wrong?
When Isaac and the tram go missing, Beth begins to discover the truth. But it might be too late…
