By Pete Townshend , adapted for radio by Jeff Young. Townshend's exploration of humanity, begun in 1971. has finally come to fruition - a dream road movie set in a world of info overload and techno-gluttony. It is the last day of the millennium and a disillusioned Ray decides to leave his rural hideaway in search of his missing daughter, Mary, leaving his wife, Sally, behind. Ray is drawn by the voice of a pirate DJ, Hacker, to the Lifehouse and back to the music that once gave his life meaning. Director Kate Rowland
