Almost 100 years after his railway engineer grandfather embarked on a long, lonely passage to a remote corner of South America, Michael Jacobs sets off on a journey that will follow in his footsteps. Michael Jacobs' journey back through time takes him from a rain-swept Hull churchyard to desolate Antofagasta in Chile and to the former silver capital of PotosI. Climbing through ghostly, lunar-like scenery towards the snow-capped summits of the Andes, he follows the route of his grandfather's railway across giant rocky plateaux, through terrifyingly steep gorges and valleys of tropical lushness, and past grim mining townships buffeted by winds, rain and snow to reveal an extraordinary love story.
