As Jacob's search for a story takes them out of their comfortable, frappucino filled world and into the seedy underbelly of Britain’s backstreets, low lifes and eventually the decaying Eden Estate, cracks begin to appear in their co-dependant relationship driving a rift between them.

Does the Tempter really exist?
 
And if so, is the Tempter truly responsible for the impending armaggedon, or is there a more darker, more sinister, more simple truth to it all?
