When several million people suddenly go missing, the ensuing world, both locally in Cornwall and worldwide, struggles to come to terms with the inept and comical attempts to put a sensible lid on the happening. We follow the mishaps of a rogue Cornish vicar alongside those of world leaders; both, in their own way, trying to balance a return to normality whilst seeking the truth or otherwise. When the local, national and international come into contact, via the UK Prime Minister's wife, the wiles of politicians and the mistrust of such wiles produce a comical mayhem that nevertheless still ends in a simple sadness.
