The story has two loosely connected narratives; the first is a semi autobiographical yarn about a country boy fresh out of catering college who vamooses off to London to find a future. When the country spirals into recession, he weighs anchor and joins the yachting fraternity in Monaco, cooking for the rich and famous. It doesn't end there! The second narrative follows a surreal fictional journey of two misfit anthropomorphic characters, who are trying to fathom out where they might find their place in the big wide world, of an unruly, untamed counter culture that thrives within Exmoor's indigenous wildlife. Both parties are buffeted by events that are way out of their control, as they travail along their respective rocky roads.
