Niektoré ľúbostné príbehy sú príliš veľké na to, aby sa na ne dalo len tak zabudnúť. Mary OʼConnorová už sedem rokov čaká na návrat svojej prvej, skutočnej lásky. Každý večer bez výnimky príde na železničnú stanicu na Ealing Broadway a zaujme zvyčajné miesto v dave cestujúcich. V rukách drží tabuľku s nápisom Vráť sa domov, Jim. Pokojne ju nazvite bláznivou, otravnou ženskou, Mary sa ani nepohne. Až do chvíle, keď jej nečakané telefonáty prevrátia život naruby. Napriek všetkej snahe sa z nich nevie spamätať. Musí už čeliť pravde, čo sa vlastne stalo pred rokmi, a nájsť odpoveď na otázku, kde je jej milovaný Jim.
