On a street in a town in the North of England, perfectly ordinary people are doing totally normal things - children play cricket, window frames are painted, a couple argues, students pack up their belongings, and nameless people pass each other like every other day, interweaving yet never connecting. But a terrible event shatters the quiet of the summer evening and no one who witnesses it will ever be the same again.
