Stephen Lewis is, by his own admission, an accidental author of children's books. One Saturday, on a routine visit to the supermarket, in a concentration lapse, he loses his only daughter, Kate. The only purpose in his life is that he is a member of a committee on childcare. Otherwise he spends his days lying on the sofa drinking scotch and watching mindless TV programmes and the Olympic games. His wife, Julie, has become a recluse, and he visits her very rarely. He has a close friend, Charles Darke, who published his first novel and who is now a junior Minister in the Cabinet, and the Prime Minister's favourite. His wife, Thelma, is a quantum physicist. She engages Stephen with her outlandish theories on time and space. However, his friends lives are about to change irrevocably in a way he cannot understand, and he is a helpless bystander.
