November 1978 - Britain is on strike. The dead lie unburied, rubbish piles in the streets and somewhere in West London a black woman dies in a rain-soaked gutter. Her passing would have gone unmourned but for the young woman who finds her and who believes - apparently against reason - that Annie was murdered.
