About this title
Synopsis
The exchange on Prospect Street was disconnected in 1981 and has been kept warm ever since by a succession of people paid very little to make sure the pipes do not burst. Wren is the ninth of them. She works nights and reads. The boards are still there. So are the chairs. The lines were pulled out of the wall the same year and taken away on a truck, which is documented. On Tuesday, at twenty past two in the morning, one of the boards lights up.
Who this is about
Wren works nights at a decommissioned telephone exchange she is paid to keep the pipes from freezing in.
What goes wrong
A board with no line running into it takes a call.
What's at stake
The building comes down in six weeks, and nobody is going to believe her before then.
Why it keeps going
Each episode the calls get more specific about her.
Takeaway
The thing nobody believes is the thing you end up investigating alone.
