A tender, bittersweet silent-era romance about two isolated souls who find fleeting connection amid the sensory spectacle of Coney Island, only to be separated by urban anonymity.

Two lonely people in the big city meet and enjoy the thrills of an amusement park, only to lose each other in the crowd after spending a great day together. Will they ever see each other again?
