Four men, one a big shot movie director; one a man who makes avant-garde shorts and features; one with a job on a Soho-based film magazine and another with an obsession with discovering the spectral energies of abandoned cinemas. During the demolition work on the site of a former cinema just north of Soho, the body of a man is discovered wrapped in the celluloid used to kill him. The grisly discovery throws together the four former friends who are haunted by the film project they once worked on and draws them into a deepening mystery of murder and deceit on the tracks of the London Underground. Adultery, sexual obsession, festering guilt and growing mistrust are mapped out in a labyrinth narrative that is at once a thriller and an emotional odyssey.
