Synopsis:

Christmas special of the Channel 4 drama written by Charlie Brooker which explores the role of technology in modern society. Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall star as two men who are forced to celebrate Christmas together whilst working in a remote cabin. To better know one another, Matt (Hamm) and Joe (Spall) tell stories of their previous jobs and how they came to end up in the outpost. First, Matt recounts how one of his side jobs was as a dating coach where he could contact clients through an augmented reality device known as a Z-Eye. To Joe's horror, Matt also details his real work in which he tortured self-aware computer programs into serving their real-life counterparts. Later, Joe reveals how he transpired to be in the cottage, including revealing events which led to the end of his relationship with former partner Beth (Janet Montgomery). But despite all their revelations, the pair may still be hiding partial truths from one another.

In a remote cabin Joe Potter reluctantly celebrates Christmas with the enigmatic Matt who starts to tell Joe about his previous jobs. In one he guided the nervous Harry into picking up the desirable Jennifer through an implant in the boy's head through which Matt shouted instructions though Matt could not foresee that it would end in disaster. As a result his wife blocked him out of her life via a device which, by pressing a button, completely obliterated the person in question. His next job involved transferring peoples' brains into tiny robotic replicas of themselves through which they could control gadgets but he could control their life span, selling them to the gaming industry. Joe then tells Matt how the love of his life, Bethany, fell pregnant but did not want the baby and blocked him before disappearing. Later, after Bethany's death, Joe sees the child but gets a shock and an even bigger one when he realizes who Matt is and what he has been sent to do. The job done Matt is also in for an unpleasant surprise.

In a mysterious and remote snowy outpost, Matt and Potter share an interesting Christmas meal together, swapping creepy tales of their earlier lives in the outside world.
