Episode 5 of 6

Alice navigates through a London which is a place of curious anomalies and hidden portals to other dimensions. Determined to find her missing brother, she takes a leap of faith.

In Nick Perry's time travelling drama series, London is not one but many cities; a city of curious anomalies and dark secrets, of hidden portals to other dimensions. A city so vast and varied that the weird and the uncanny blend seamlessly with the ordinary, where the person sitting next to you on the bus, or walking beside you on the pavement, may in fact be a visitor from another time.

Alice is convinced that her missing brother Alan is lost in time and is determined to rescue him and bring him back to the present. She manages to speak with Alan via an intermediary but many questions remain unanswered. So when she hears an account of a strange anomaly atop the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, Alice decides to take a leap of faith.
