Synopsis
A Salvation Army charity shop: A place full of belongings – a place where people belong.
A Salvation Army charity shop on a wet and windy high street. The shop is full of people but for very different reasons. For some, it’s their job or an opportunity to volunteer and give something back. For others it’s a regular lifeline, a part of their routine. And then there are those who are there for the very first time.
When a storm hits, these almost-strangers decide to spend the afternoon together, rather than venturing into the rain. With nothing much to do, they bond over tea and stories. But one person has a story they aren’t telling – a story with devastating consequences.
