A short film about a young, shy boy named Will, who is on work experience at an Employment Centre. Will has a unique and special gift giving him a deeper insight and understanding into the lives of people he encounters during his day. These visions contrast sharply with the preconceptions of his colleague, Prakash, who is showing Will 'the ropes'. However, when a man wearing a jinxed watch visits the centre Will is forced to act on his supernatural instincts.
