Imagine you could no longer use the internet or your mobile phone! This is the scenario in 2050 when the oil runs out and Britain can't produce enough electricity. Drastic power cuts then become the norm, and many people lose their jobs and their homes. The story is seen through the eyes of two women. Jess, in her thirties, is tied to a job she hates and has to live apart from her husband and young son, while Gertrude, in her seventies, has not left her flat for twenty years and cannot contact her son in Australia. Their lives are linked, but neither woman has a real concept of the struggles that the other faces each day. Both of them are seeking a solution to get out of the dark.
