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. The film is also taking inspiration from William Beveridge's fantastical descriptions of the Five Giants the plan is trying to defeat. Flea's investigation leads her to encounters with today's social academics and activists.
