Ira Blechman waits for a train to take him home, the last train he will ever take on the last night of his miserable, schlubby life. He has a plan. It's all worked out, In less than an hour, by his own hand, he will leave this Earth better off for the going. Funny thing about plans, they unravel. For Ira, the unraveling starts with a strange train he's never seen; the train's only passenger, an even stranger woman, out-of-time and between worlds who knows him better than he knows himself; and a promise broken that has unforeseen consequences that ripple across the thin veneer separating the sane world from what lies beyond; a veneer Ira is destined to tear, and through which he will see the bigger plan-one waiting for him, whether he wants it or not
