JB Priestley's atmospheric war-time thriller, set in a Midlands town
during the blackout. With an aircraft factory and an electrical
works busy with war work, it soon becomes apparent that sensitive
information is being leaked to the enemy. An undercover operative is
sent in to discover what's going on, and he finds himself surrounded
by black marketeers, fifth columnists and an assortment of servicemen
and civilians. As he tries to make sense of this strange cast of
characters, his investigation is hampered by a murder. He realises
that this uninspiring-looking town harbours some sinister secrets
hidden in the dark of its wintry blackout.
