Synopsis
Asylum seekers in detention around the UK leave messages in vain on an abandoned answerphone in the basement of a government ministry. They are invisible to the outside world; yet exist under a regime of constant surveillance. Locked up indefinitely their past traumas return in their dreams and erupt in hallucinations that fill them with panic and fear.
