Part Two explores the recordings which are a diary of Isaac Wilde, a Victorian photographer on an archeological dig. Determined to prove their existence, he takes a daguerrotype (a photograph which cannot be faked) of a sleeping fairy - and then vanishes off the face of the earth. The daguerrotype goes missing. In Part Three, having listened to Isaac's diaries, David Ellwand becomes increasingly convinced that fairies exist. But his need to discover the truth might be dangerous...
