In a GAPECAST inspired by the 1971 Ozsploitation classic Wake In Fright, non-Ilford man John Grant is marooned in the one-horse town of Ilford South after he falls asleep on a train; a place where the only respite from the drudgery of the data mines comes from sinking pint after pint of strong milk, and the only excitement from the occasional cow hunt. Whilst this also sounds idyllic enough, there's a deep, dark underbelly to Ilford South rather like that of a cow itself, which even its revered former MP Mike Gapes may not be fully aware of. Financial corruption at the highest political level. A string of mysterious deaths, as opposed to the normal murders committed by the GG Gang. And then there's the curious case of the Golf Course Ogre, who keeps killing all the cows. John Grant finds himself sucked in by the town's strange magnetism, and gets in deeper and deeper until he's...gaping in fright.
