Jumping the Barriers tells the story of a chance meeting on a train between a young graduate and a homeless man. James seemingly has it all - a good job, a nice flat in London and a girlfriend who loves him. Everything is sorted. And that's the problem. Nothing exciting ever happens to him. Enter Nathan, a streetwise scouser who is homeless and has just bunked on the train. Their short journey shows us how first impressions can be deceiving, how often we take a lot for granted and that we always have a choice.
