A group of online comic enthusiasts meet up when one of them, Bejan, acquires a rare cult comic 'The Utopia Experiments'. However there is something in the comic that makes it dangerous to own and Bejan is killed by two hitmen from a group called the Network, the only witness being a little boy, Grant, who is also part of the forum. All the survivors, including computer hacker Wilson, Ian and Becky go on the run but the Network is also blackmailing Michael Dugdale, a married civil servant who has impregnated his mistress Anya, into helping locate the fugitives. Framed for crimes they did not commit Ian and Becky meet a girl called Jessica Hyde
