There is a highly-secret government organisation called Department 7. Its existence is known only to the Prime Minister and some members of the Cabinet. Its brief is to investigate the supernatural - to discover the Omega Factor.

The Omega Factor will appeal to the nervous child in us all, determined to conquer fear and find out what is hidden inside a darkened room.
