2 Across - A Comedy of Crosswords & Romance

Two strangers, a man and a woman (late 40s to middle 50s) board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 AM

They're alone in the car, both are married and both are doing the New York Times crossword

She's an organized, sensible, psychologist - he's a free spirited, unemployed ad exec

And she's a crossword pro and he always quits

When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, "Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don't, fail"

So now he vows to finish

This starts an 80 minute ride described by critics as "Hilarious", "Witty", "Romantic", "Poignant" & "Wonderfully entertaining"

Two opposites in an enclosed space, attacking each other's values but also being swayed and intrigued by them

They each have serious life problems that the other helps them solve

Their trip is filled with unpredictable but believable surprises, even a passionate embrace or two

As the train ride ends it's obvious each of them has been changed for the better

And we're dying to know - will these two meet again?
