In a small American town a mundane event offers a glimpse in to a normally unseen world of mysterious connections. A businessman rushes for his train but just misses it. As he waits for the next service another world seems to open up before him and we witness a series of disparate characters each enter their own state of delusion, rapture or heightened awareness.
