Matheson finds himself hemmed in by his ex-girlfriend's armed stalker when the man repeatedly phones from outside her door without knocking... A father kidnaps his daughter and drives her through the USA towards a destination that becomes increasingly unclear... When a marriage of convenience takes a wrong turn and he refuses to sponsor her or return her money after it becomes clear that she has deliberately become pregnant, Bellamy leaves the country and is followed abroad... Professor Hayward discusses her Jamaican childhood, life in media circles, and her troubled romance with an ex-student through TV interviews and feuds... An expatriate in London has trouble adapting to the majesty and shabbiness of his adapted town. His Cockney ex-girlfriend explains the nuances of knifings, council estates and TV licenses, but may not have anticipated the rise of Islamic terrorists. This is a rough and tumble collection of lives that not only crosses genres, but the ocean as well.
