A man in an overcoat comes to the aid of a woman being mugged. A scuffle ensues and the man slumps to the ground. A few minutes later several people walk by, who notice the man but walk on. Who was he? What happened to him after they walked away? Should they have stopped? One woman struggles to find the answers.
