How can a woman who never existed come back to haunt you?


Gerry Anderson has been having trouble sleeping. He's unwell - bed-bound - and has only his night nurse and his PA for company. But what's really troubling him are the phone calls. Phone calls from a woman claiming to be the 'real' Aubrey.
