The story revolves around Micky Mellowes, a man who finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a poignant encounter with a mysterious young woman named Esther Shepstone on New Year's Eve.

Despite her reluctance, Micky invites her to supper, and they share a heartfelt conversation that reveals their mutual feelings of despair. However, the narrative takes a twist when Micky learns that Esther is linked to his friend, Ashton, who has just made a distressing decision that impacts Esther's life.
