DAILY TELEGRAPH
________

'June the first, a bright summer's evening, a Monday . . .'


And into the busy, bustling homes at 66 Star Street slips, unseen, a mysterious visitor.

As the couples, flatmates and repentant singletons of No. 66 fall in and out of love, clutch at and drop secrets, laugh, cry and simply try to live, no one suspects the visitor patiently waiting in the wings.

For soon, as the light slowly fades to dark, everything is going to change . . .
