Plant is resting on his lantana farm in the Valley of the Weed, bored and happily idle. Until Fullalove comes to stay and sniffs out a string of potential conspiracies. The well-stocked second-hand bookshop that doesn't list its books on-line. The on-line progressive journal of correct opinion, Mad, Bad and Dangerous. The sexsational novelist Mandy Mittelnacht. And Shameless Seamus, the dodgy journalist and his no less dodgy editor, Gilbert Osbourne.
