Sometimes Fate reshuffles the cards. Confined by a train accident to a derelict corner of an old harbour some children, youngsters and old people find each other and start a new play.

Tramps.
How can it come to this with anyone anyway?
Usually it originates with bad luck. When there is no one to help you and you panic, bad luck stacks bad luck and you lose everything. Addicts, old people who can no longer keep up with the times, single people who are evicted because of debts. There are also children among them.
Isolated fringe figures, of whom we sometimes catch a glimpse in a
corner of the eye. Because invisibility is a survival strategy.

Sometimes something happens to them that allows them to recover. By accident they are able to regain a place in society.

The players in this narrative are four vagrant children, a lapsed college student, a very young heroin hooker and some old people. The accident is a gigantic derailment that takes place over their heads and beyond their experience.
The cards are reshuffled for a while. Emil manages to start a new game with them. With the children, three old eccentrics and Ann-Lilly, whom he rescued and.... no, you better read that.
