Publisher's Synopsis
One night. One motorway. One seemingly endless traffic jam. As darkness falls, the traffic jam lenghthens, and motorists turn off their engines. Then they get out of their cars. And so the story begins. People from all walks of life are thrown together on the M25. There are Max and Ursula, a bickering married couple with a friend's child in the back seat; hungover Shauna, on her way back from a wedding; dope-smoking students Dave, Stevie and Natalie; white-van men Chris and Rhys; Shahid, a charistmatic aspiring footballer; Harold, a Scottish academic and M25 historian; Hsia May, an insect expert; and Waitrose Tony, whose delivery van becomes the target of hungry motorists. As the minutes become hours and impatience turns to anger, the tension grows. Secrets are revealed. Friendships are made. Relationships are broken. And lives are changed.
