Nicky is a new minicab driver, learning The Knowledge in his spare time. His relationship is on the rocks and his life seems out of control.

Charlie is his passenger, a garrulous old man who wears an ill-fitting sergeant's battledress jacket and wants to talk about the war.

There's a Tube strike, the traffic isn't moving and the two unlikely companions are forced to spend time together. But as Nicky finds out, Charlie isn't crazy - he's in love.
