- Flea (Sophie Jenkin), a young woman of today, discovers William Beveridge (Simon Callow), his 1942 Report and his Plan for a more cohesive society. The film is based on documented texts and speeches by Beveridge, his contemporaries and later politicians, used word for word in the script.

Flea's investigation leads her to encounters with today's social academics and activists.
