Episode 8
Stevie's suspicions are confirmed, when she speaks to the wife of an investigative journalist killed just days before she found her boyfriend dead.
Apocalyptic thriller by Louise Welsh.
London's population is being decimated by a deadly virus known as "The Sweats". In spite of the chaos around her, survivor Stevie Flint continues to search for answers to who, or what, caused the death of her boyfriend, Doctor Simon Sharkey.
She's discovered that Simon and his colleagues were developing a controversial treatment for cerebral palsy. Their company, Fibrosyop, was being investigated by a journalist who was killed in a street mugging a few days before Simon. The coincidence seems to confirm Stevie's suspicions that Simon was murdered.
