Description: When a 38-year-old university professor accidentally crashes his Land Rover into a tree in order to avoid killing a cat, he doesn't expect much sympathy. Certainly not from 27-year-old Mina from the call centre where his accident insurance phone call goes through to. But there's an immediate connection and before long they're talking like old friends. Could it be that, despite the obvious distance between them (he is in Cambridge and she is in Sheffield), they've actually got a lot in common. What's going to happen when they meet?
