He is dazzled by Misty's beauty, her impossible breasts, the sports car he has been gifted and most of all by the heartbreaking Hepsie Vine who is mysteriously bound to Misty. But there's more to his job than just glamour and decadence. For the rambling mansion in Wychwood comes with a dank trace of secrets and Misty - of course - has plenty of her own.
