When Kit and Luisa meet, neither can escape the consequences of Michael\'s split-second decision made all those decades ago..
Meanwhile Luisa falters in the flow of her life as her children begin to fly the nest and she is left suspended, without direction.

In doing so he changes his destiny.
Impulsively he boards a train heading to the western tip of Cornwall.
