Paper Mask

Mathew Harris is a porter working in a busy hospital in London. While playing his banjo in his bedroom, he dreams of bigger and better job opportunities, having been previously dropped out from studying biology. One evening, he witnesses a car accident beside a local pub, where the driver of a car is killed in a coalition with a lorry. Harris learns that the man, named Simon Hennessey, was a doctor at the hospital where he works, and had been applying for a residency at another hospital in Bristol. Harris takes the dead man's mail, fills out a job application, and applies for the job himself under the late doctor's identity. After studying medical books and assisting and observing procedures at his hospital, Harris applies and is accepted. Before he leaves, he goes to the swimming pool where his friend Moran is. Explaining he has decided to travel abroad, he hands Moran his silver cigarette case as a gift. He quits his job and settles in Bristol where he, as Dr. Simon Hennessey, is assigned to a busy Emergency department (A&E) department.
