    Synopsis:
    William (Max Beesley) and his band The Alaska Factory who have pinned their hopes of success on London, the city of dreams. But William`s dreams soon turn sour. His band seem intent upon turning his songs into commercial pop and the object of his affection, Madeline, remains out of reach. And just to top it all, he witnesses the bizarre murder of Paisley, the lead singer of The Unfortunates, by a pair of dwarves. There is one bright spot on the horizon for William - Karla, the vivacious but mysterious new pub barmaid.

    Karla is attracted to William, but is it love, or sex, or does she have another agenda? After the murder, William starts to learn more about Karla. Once a punk rocker in Glasgow in the late 70`s, the only record produced by her obscure band The Dwarves of Death, appears to be important in unravelling the connection between Karla, the frightening Vincent (Ray Winstone), who runs the only recording studio in town who will have The Alaska Factory, and Paisley`s death.
