Despite living in the same three-flat house in the suburbs of London,
the residents are strangers to one another. The bottom floor is home to
Tam, a recent ex-cop who spends his days drowning his sorrows in whisky.
On the middle floor is Nick, a young man with Asperger's who likes to
stick to his schedules and routines. The top floor belongs to Karen, a
doctor and researcher who has spent her life trying to understand the
rising rates of autism. They have lived their lives separately until
now, when an unsolved murder and the man on the middle floor connect
them all together.
Told from three points of view, The Man on the Middle Floor is about
disconnection in all its forms: sexual, physical, parental and
emotional. It questions whether society is meeting the needs of the
fast-growing autistic section of society or exacerbating it.
Thought-provoking and thrilling, The Man on the Middle Floor will
leave listeners talking.
