When his wife goes missing, a desperate husband turns to law enforcement for help, only to discover his innocence is being questioned by everyone.

Encounter is the story of a missing cat, an unhappy teenager, a lonely little girl, a single mum and a tramp. The tramp, invited by the little girl, comes into the family home at Christmas time and has an effect on each one of them. He has a surprising gentleness and wisdom that works to soften relationships between mother and daughters. And of course he has his own stories to tell, which unfold as the story develops.
