Wiseguy Joey Smith's bag disappears on the train - containing everything he needs for his next big deal. Stranded without money in an alien town, Joey finds a sympathetic ear and a bed-sit with landlady Mrs Templeman. Unable to find his way home, he discovers all is not as it seems when he is engulfed by the weirdness of her house. He makes desperate, ridiculous efforts to leave town, hampered by the locals, but he's gradually drawn into the world of Jacqueline, the former tenant of his strange flat, who disappeared without trace. Full of references to cult spooky movies and funny caricatures, this is a journey into a weird alternative world.
