On a late summer afternoon, Oli, a 12-year-old boy, is bored and plays on a railway track. After almost getting caught by a passing train, he wanders off into a deserted train depot. To his surprise, he meets a group of children on the depot, who seem to be just as lost as he is. He befriends them, and each of them seems to have his own story to tell, stories changing Olis view on the afternoon he thought to have spent amongst new friends.
