You pick up the phone and a person with a strange accent strikes up a conversation with you. The person seems to know the room you are sitting in, even though he is about 10.000 km away. The voice belongs to a call centre agent from Calcutta, India. A story is about to develop and you realize that the call centre agent and you and your city are the very first protagonists of the plot.
