It’s the year 2020, and the world of technology rules supreme.

One of its successes is the Simon Swain show whose contestants fight for survival in a desperate bid to justify their existence.

Meanwhile, in an empty Norfolk seaside resort, a lone piano player - a relic from a lost world - plays to his dead wife in a deserted ballroom. His life is transformed when he is invited on the show.
