Screenwriter Daniel Feeld experiences bizarre coincidences as his screenplay—about a karaoke bar, an employee named Sandra, and her murder by Arthur 'Pig' Mallion—seems to mirror reality, with a karaoke bar, an employee named Sandra, and a shady owner named Mallion.
Daniel Feeld is a television writer whose latest work, 'Karaoke', is in production. He's in endless conflict with ambitious director Nick Balmer, who continues to try and change his script. Feeld is also undergoing medical tests in hospital after recently feeling ill. One day, he becomes disturbed when he overhears a passing couple voicing lines from his script, a murder thriller. Later, at dinner with a friend, he spots a girl at a table with a man seemingly repeating a scene from his work. His unsettled feelings intensify when he learns that the girl is called Sandra, just like his character, as in his work, she ends up murdered.

Feeld is now in hospital, having collapsed at Arthur 'Pig' Mallion's Karaoke strip club after following Sandra there. His consultant sends him for tests, warning that it could be serious. While there, he receives an unexpected visit from Sandra, and tries to explain to her about his work and his premonitions in his script.

Balmer and Linda are in fact having an affair, and when he tries phoning her, little does he realise that Mallion is listening in!

It is there that he learns what Sandra is plotting. Meanwhile, Linda tells Balmer that her flat has been bugged and shows him a threatening blackmail note, confirming Balmer's suspicions.
