Farah Price never expected visitors. Not on the Northern line – and certainly not at midnight. But strange things can happen on empty carriages. When Farah finds herself surrounded by peculiar-looking passengers, all of them oddly fascinated by the world around them, she wonders if she's fallen into a dream. The truth, however, may be far more revealing. Time, love and humanity are wound up in this paranormal concept musical, which explores how six separate lives might all add up to one.
