A group of people, each, whom have a big or small regret, are spending the weekend at a country house near an ancient forest. With the threads of superstition regarding midsummer night, and help from their Puck-like host, Lob, the group spends the evening wandering around the wood, being the people they would have become had they chosen different roads. Surface changes abound, but each of them appears to be exactly who they would have been just the same, only in different circumstances. The group returns to the house humbled and illuminated by their experiences.
