On an otherwise ordinary spring day, Alice Witney thought she recognised a demon from her long buried past. She could have decided it was just coincidence but instead, as was her nature, acted on instinct causing a minor affray in a supermarket. Had she have thought for a moment, Alice may have sensed that life was not ever going to be quite the same after the incident. She could have taken her shopping back to the freedom of her narrowboat home and sailed away again. Life could have gone on as normal for her small but perfectly dysfunctional family for many years. Instead she was drawn into a bizarre adventure involving the two people closest and dearest to her as the past she had hidden, for the greater good, seemed to hit all concerned soundly in the face.
