When The Hayseed Chronicles, an obscure series of children's books, become world-famous, millions of readers debate the significance of the last line and the shadowy figure of Mr Toppit who dominates the books. The author, Arthur Hayman, killed in a tragic accident in Soho, never reaps the benefits of the books' success. The legacy passes to his widow, Martha, and her children - the fragile Rachel, and Luke, reluctantly immortalised as Luke Hayseed, the central character of his father's books. But others want their share, particularly Laurie, the stranger from California, who has a mysterious aganda of her own that changes all their lives.
