Set entirely on a London bus travelling from Hoxton to Highbury and taking place over just 36 minutes, the events of The 392 unfold through a cast of charismatic characters coming from very different worlds.

These Londoners share two things: a bus journey and a threat. A threat which is ready to blow apart everything they know.
