A healthy young man dies in his sleep, despite the ringing of seven separate alarm clocks…

For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words 'Seven Dials' were to take on a new and chilling significance…
The Seven Dials Mystery is available to watch on Netflix, starring Mia McKenna Bruce, Martin Freeman and Helena Bonham Carter.
