White Liars

A fateful encounter between a, down and out,  fortune teller, a rock musician and his agent.

Without permission, they have borrowed the furniture and effects of their fussy neighbor, Harold, to make their own flat more presentable. Just before the guests arrive, the main fuse blows, plunging the flat into darkness…………
