When a neurodivergent young woman freezes in a trance in an airport terminal, and Dexter Rawlins, a soon-to-be-retired airline chief pilot, sees her motionless figure as a potential terrorist, why didn't he call security?

Jenifer Boscawen talks to ghosts and wanders the metaverse, talking to her long-dead father. She once played computer games and now, for her use only, builds aircraft simulators in a barn behind her house. He flies internationally and lives in hotels worldwide except when he can retreat to his farmhouse beside Dartmoor, where he spends hours on Dartmoor talking to the ponies.

Morwen, Dexter's childhood girlfriend, also talks to ponies and says, 'When two Fey people meet, there's either an explosion or a blending.'

They must find out between aircraft engine failures, crashes, and investigations, which take them to Madagascar, Mauritius, the USA, Dartmoor, and somewhere called the metaverse. - What is their future?
