Arriving late in Kyoto Patrick Holland cannot find a room for the night.

Homeless and disorientated and in a place where loitering is not encouraged his only solution is to ride the trains.

The train journey becomes a thread in book that journeys on rivers in Saigon, mountains in the Chinese Himalaya, lost cities of the Silk Road, mist-swathed cemeteries in Japan and the flat plains of Australia, and subtly questions the nature of travel and identity through reflections on place, mortality and the changing Asian landscape.
