Plot
Tosh takes a train to London to meet with Stephen, a former employee of Torchwood One who has become aware of a series of twenty-seven disappearances in which all but one of the victims shared a birthday and died at the exact same time. The disappearance of the exception, Nikki, was recorded as a voice message for her girlfriend Janet, in which she claimed that she saw somebody and heard a voice telling her that she was going to die. Although Nikki does not share her birthday with the other victims, Janet does and she used Janet's ID to illegally download music on Choosic, a torrent site which the other victims also used. Janet's account inexplicably became Stephen's whilst he was investigating and he fears that he will be the next to disappear.

The nature of this audio means that a lot of clips from other Torchwood productions are used:
- The introduction to this audio is the same as that of Zone 10, followed by a distortion used to segue into the actual story.
- The Torchwood Theme at the beginning is heavily distorted and switches between the main one and the one from the audio story The Victorian Age.
- When Stephen mentions the mission of Torchwood One, saying "If it's alien, it's ours", the voice of Yvonne Hartman is briefly heard.
- After one of the phone messages left for Tosh by Stephen, an extract of her final message from the television story Exit Wounds is heard.
- A part of the next time trailer for the audio story The Office of Never Was cuts in briefly.
