Thriller based on Jonathan Coe's best-selling novel, The Dwarves of Death. Opening with a bizarre murder witnessed solely by the lead singer of a rock band, the story then jumps back three weeks as the band moves to London in search of stardom. Here, they meet their drug-crazed producer whose involvement with a 1970s punk band increasingly appears to hold the key to the murder. Featuring a cameo by the late John Peel.
