Hal’s love life is on pause again. He goes on walking holidays. He falls in love. And with explorers it’s so frustrating. They all go off. Like Laura – she’s going to India for six months and they’ve only just met. But she’s bound to return to Fotheringham. Her house is here, not far from Hal’s flat.
Meanwhile, Hal must pursue his mission – he’s designing a computer program that’ll write stories on demand. Then there’s Wayne and Sharon, who’ve moved into the flat upstairs. They’ve invited Hal to join the crowd who’ll be dancing all night to the sound of house music.
But there’s something odd about Wayne. It’s as if there's a competition between them. When Hal dances more often, Wayne does too – and Wayne must dance that extra bit. After Laura’s return to Fotheringham, Hal decides to slow down. Yet Wayne doesn’t slow down. Wayne can’t stop dancing, and he says he’s controlled by Saturn. Then, as Hal and Laura renew their friendship, Wayne unleashes his dark forces…
