A British secret agent resigns from his job and prepares to go on holiday. However, when he wakes up, he finds himself in the Village: a mysterious place on the coast where retired agents are sent to spend the rest of their lives... whether they want to or not.

The new Number Two uses a new wonder drug to tap into Number Six's subconscious to try to discover why he resigned. Over a period of three nights he encounters A, B and C in separate circumstances. Unknown to Number Two, Number Six has realised what has happened and gets his dreams to prove that he was not selling out.
