Alice can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of meeting one of her lifelong TV heroes - veteran comedy actor Gordon Bexter, who is about to direct a challenging new avant garde play at the Royal Court called Kiss of Death.

Alice has moved off Milly's sofa and into her own room in actress friend Fae Maddison's spacious apartment, but little else in her life looks like settling down. As she struggles with her conscience following her traumatic break-up with Douglas, she starts pondering the awful question - has she, in fact, made the wrong decision?

Just as Alice's house-hunting woes seem behind her, with her own room in actress Fae Maddison's trendy London apartment, her new flatmate exhibits some less than endearing behaviour. A dinner with a troubled actor slated to appear in Douglas's new romantic comedy is a disaster, and has far-reaching consequences for Alice.
