Synopsis: Black Mirror Broken

During a thunderstorm, one should never take a shower, use the telelphone...

...or stand too close to a mirror.

Kim Ryan has always been leery of the mirror he'd inherited from his grandmother. Sure, the frame's nice but the patterns in the glass didn't sit well with him when he was a child and they still don't now that the mirror stands in his bedroom. One night, as Kim is getting ready for a date, a particularly strong thunderstorm passes over London and has a strange effect on the mirror: after swearing he's seen double reflections of himself, Kim finds himself pulled into it. After being dropped back into his bedroom, Kim finds he's lost two hours and his way home: the London he's currently in has no resemblance to the city he knows. Everything looks the same, except the people. Looking for comfort in television after his ordeal, Kim finds he's the only person with wings. While trying to adjust to his situation and possibly find a way back, he's implicated in a vigilante justice case against a gay basher, almost blowing his cover in the process. As a result of the stories about a winged man flying over London, a mysterious organization known simply as the Society comes knocking at his door, claiming they can help somebody like him. What sort of help, Kim's not sure, but he isn't certain he's even in a position to ask such questions.
