A two-part crime thriller inspired by everyday heroism of key workers during Covid.
Part 1: All Routes
On her first day as a bus controller, Marilyn faces severe disruption when a street protest turns violent. Liaising with emergency services and redirecting drivers, she must rescue her old friend Frankie, and her passengers, trapped by the demonstration on Waterloo Bridge.
Meanwhile her husband Steve is coerced by Bianca into enabling a robbery from an empty office block where he works as a guard.
When the robbers’ getaway is blocked by the street protest, Marilyn struggles to manage the escalating situation, as work and personal lives become dangerously entwined.
Part 2: On Diversion
With her husband Steve held hostage by Bianca’s armed robbers, bus controller Marilyn is forced to engineer traffic chaos to help their escape.
When torrential rain creates flooding, then gridlock, Marilyn is conflicted in her responsibility to her job and drivers, and fears for Steve and daughter Nell. Haunted by the death of a colleague early in the pandemic, can she regain control?
Unable to protect her family alone, she recruits the help of Frankie and the community of drivers to track the criminals to Camberwell Green.
