Once Toby Flood played a Bond-like hero in a Hollywood film. Now heâ€™s serving a sentence in a crippled traveling production of a newly unearthed Joe Orton playâ€”a play that might have saved Tobyâ€™s career if only someone enjoyed watching it. Painfully, the showâ€™s swan song is coming in Brighton, where Tobyâ€™s wife happens to be living happily with another man in anticipation of a divorce decree. Then, almost as if he were scripted, a stranger enters the scene....

A stalker is frightening Tobyâ€™s wife, Jenny, who believes the man is probably one of her estranged husbandâ€™s fans. When Jenny asks Toby to confront the man, Toby leaps at the chance. Soon, heâ€™s moonlighting from the stage lights and heroically pursuing... something. The truth is, the more Toby finds out about Jennyâ€™s stalker, the more questions he has about a twisting tale of unexplained deaths, interlocking lives, and the violent, greedy adventures of none other than Jennyâ€™s wealthy fiancÃ©â€”a man who might make the perfect villain, if only the hero lives long enough to prove it....
