Out in a computerized fortress somewhere in the uncharted regions of the Northern Line lives a lonely composer, Jerome, who has not been able to depress a key on his digital audio system since his detested wife removed herself and his beloved daughter. Jerome plans to regain access to the child by hiring an actress to play his fiancee and impress the Child Welfare Department with a masquerade of perfect domestic harmony. The plan might have worked out, but for the other occupant in the flat.
