A group of people live their separate lives, unaware of the subtle
interconnections that bring them together. There's a cocky attorney
who becomes a fugitive following a hit-and-run incident, a math professor
whose wife is the victim of a mugging, an insurance company manager
troubled by his ex-wife and delinquent son, and a young woman convalescing
after a car accident.
