In a Welsh coastal town Michael lives his uncomplicated life with the minimum of effort. That is until a drug deal to buy hash cakes to ease an old lady's joints goes horribly wrong. So wrong that he turns blue, leading him to find out that humans aren't the only intelligent creatures on Earth.

Drawing the attention of a feckless, hedonistic god called Corvid, Michael is thrown into a series of inexplicable events that introduces him to gods and creatures of Fey living in the human world.

As life for the non-humans spirals out of control, will anyone work out what is going on? Can things be put back to what passes for normal? Will Michael discover why he keeps turning blue and whether he has any control over his life?
