Violent rebellion comes to London's middle classes.
Like every obedient professional, I arrived punctually for my appointment with a revolution.
When a bomb explosion at Heathrow airport kills psychologist David Markham's ex-wife, he sets out on a journey to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death. As he infiltrates a shadowy group of middle-class revolutionaries based in the comfortable Chelsea Marina, Markham soon finds himself swept up in a bourgeois insurrection that is sending the capital into panic.
