'When Tom White goes missing, many lives are affected. A family man with two young kids, the pressures of life and his work as a draughtsman have pushed him to the edge. One day he simply doesn't go home. Without word or reason to his wife or friends he takes to the streets - a homeless man in his own city - befriending in turn, different people on the fringes of society.'
