== Publisher's summary ==
Future [[Britain]] is bankrupt, its corporate owners facing financial ruin. Fortunately, the Universal Monetary Fund, and its slimy representative [[Sil]], are willing to give its President a multi-billion credit bail-out... but terms and conditions apply, and Sil's proposed austerity measures go far beyond mere benefit cuts.

Fortunately, the [[Universal Monetary Fund]], and its slimy representative [[Sil]], are willing to give its President a multi-billion [[credit]] bail-out... but terms and conditions apply, and Sil's proposed austerity measures go far beyond mere benefit cuts.


Responding to a distress call, [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] and his companion [[Flip Jackson|Flip]] land in a [[London]] whose pacified population has been driven largely underground. But the horrors down there in the dark are as nothing to the horrors that await them at [[ConCorp HQ]], where a young biochemist in Sil's employ is working on a permanent solution to the nation's terminal unprofitability.
