As dawn creeps across London, two lost outcasts meet in the darkness, more afraid of themselves than each other.
As the sun begins to rise, and the veil of night is lifted, the pair are forced to look at themselves and face the harsh reality that life is sometimes what you make it, and that in the cold light of day, it takes more than the eyes to see inside a soul.
