As Philip digs deeper into the nature of the project, however, dream turns to nightmare as he discovers the true, sinister nature of the project, and his managers decide that Philip's concerns are becoming annoying background noise...

As his wife Pritha makes enquiries into his whereabouts on the outside, Philip must find a way to raise the alarm from the inside and escape with his life - if he can. What will he do next? Will he escape? Will he and Pritha make beautiful music again?
