Martin Sharp is contemplating suicide on New Year’s Eve on the roof of the Toppers Building, high above London’s streets. He is interrupted by a woman, Maureen, who has the same fate in mind. She shyly offers to wait her turn, until two other strangers, a young woman named Jess and a pizza deliverer called J.J., also turn up.
