"The sky above us is orange. Black shadows of smoke silhouetted against the glow. Looking out down river I can see the whole city in flame.
If it burns the whole town down, maybe I won’t ever have to go home ..."
Rosie is having a terrible night. Her friends are ignoring her, she's had to much to drink and her boyfriend Matt is being a complete idiot. She's beginning to wish that she'd never moved to London.
When a chance encounter with an tramp sends Rosie spinning back through time, she finally discovers a place where she can be at peace.
A short radio play about wanting to escape the chaos of modern city life.
