The plot shows a young girl who has a passion for fashion design. She is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she meets her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it appears, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences. The story is by Edgar Wright who also did the screenplay with Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
