Overview

A celebration of "Enterprise Britain"; the progress of two nightshift cleaners in a towering exhibition centre. Primed for a royal visitor the following day, the delicate automated infrastructure of the building is compromised by two idiots looking for somewhere to plug in their hoover. Nightmareish video and mechanical apparitions steal their identity as the celebratory monolith descends into terminal chaos.
