But a danger lurks at the heart of Hammond's research, and when Timon the Azod enters the stage, a collision is inescapable - because Timon is Hammond's polar opposite.

Together with posh boy co-star Alastair Chesterton, he's about to make television history. But when the show starts bleeding into reality, Sean has to face some difficult truths – about himself, about Alastair, about reality itself. In the clutches of a narrative that's stronger than him, he's faced with the ultimate choice: to play the traditional leading man, or to risk it all and go off script.Set in a London close to our own, this story shows a world about to crumble – or be born again.
