A model consisting of a single massless scalar field with a topological coupling to a pure gauge field is defined and studied. It possesses an SL(2,Z) symmetry as a consequence of the gauge invariance. We propose that by adding impurities the model can be used to describe transitions between Quantum Hall plateaux. This leads to a correlation length exponent of 20/9, in excellent agreement with the most recent experimental measurements.
