Synopsis:
On a freezing winter night, Charlie, a gruff but kind-hearted night watchman at The Broadway Theatre, reluctantly lets in Jimmy, a young chorus boy left homeless after his show’s sudden closure. As they share stories, secrets, and struggles, they form an unexpected bond. Through humour, resilience, and their shared love of theatre, they find hope in each other—proving that even in the darkness, there’s always a light.
