Mr Ningle has been living a lie for seven years by pretending to still be commuting to his financial services job in the City of London from which he had been sacked. Every day he journeys in and changes into the costume of his alter ego an artist who sells painting in Trafalgar Square. His life is thrown into turmoil when his dual personality is nearly discovered by the father of his daughter's fiancée, and a series of misunderstandings lead to the mistaken belief that Ningle has been murdered by "Arty the artist" leading to a massive manhunt.
