Jo is a bereaved mother who befriends a young homeless man, James - a ringer for her son, Michael, who died nine months before.
When Jo first encounters James, on a rare visit to the shops, she is struck by his likeness to her son, and offers to take him back to her house where she can give him a haircut and clean clothes.
As she tries to get to the bottom of his story, James opens up and she offers to put him up for the night. James, realising that Jo is still grieving deeply, takes full advantage of the situation.
But when Jo's husband Patrick finds out, he tells her to send James packing.
Against Patrick's wishes, Jo walks the streets looking for James, asking for help from the wider homeless community… but can James be trusted?
