What would you do for love?

Andrew Sweeney is a computer systems analyst for the Metropolitan Electricity Board in London. Early in his marriage it becomes clear to him that his wife Deirdre enjoys the good things of life – a characteristic that Andrew’s salary cannot support. Then an opportunity at work presents a solution to his problem. Andrew rigs the computer billing program to siphon off funds for his own use.

It’s ten years later. The fraud has successfully financed a comfortable lifestyle for his wife. Andrew is threatened with exposure when the new Managing Director of the company implements a ‘State of the Art’ replacement computer system. Seriously flawed, the system threatens not only Andrew’s world, its impact is felt all the way to 10 Downing Street, where the prime minister will find himself fighting for political survival.
