Details: Four lost souls - a disgraced TV presenter, a foul-mouthed teen, an isolated single mother and a solipsistic muso - decide to end their lives on the same night, New Year's Eve. When this disillusioned quartet of strangers meet unintentionally at the same suicide hotspot, a London high-rise with the well-earned nickname Topper's Tower, they mutually agree to call off their plans for six weeks, forming an unconventional, dysfunctional family, becoming media sensations as the Topper House Four and searching together for the reasons to keep on living. On New Year's Eve in London, four individuals accidentally find themselves on the roof of a fourteen-story building, all with the firm intention of jumping to end lives that have become intolerable. First arrives Martin, a star TV presenter whose career and family were shattered by a sordid and resounding scandal; then Maureen, a simple woman and devout Catholic, yet ready to commit the greatest of sins because she can no longer bear caring for her disabled son alone; next is Jess, 18, suffering from a broken heart and filled with bitterness (and alcohol); and finally, JJ, a young American whose dreams of becoming a rock star have vanished, and who finds himself devastated by a precarious job as a pizza delivery man. The only things this quartet has in common are despair... and a bit of hunger. And here come two pizzas, brought by JJ... Tongues loosen, everyone recounts their life and their disappointments; finally, as dawn breaks, they decide to postpone and agree to meet again on Valentine's Day at the same spot.
