"Leonard (Leonardo to his friends) is at loose ends after his house burns and his wife leaves him. Lucille, a lady he knew from college, invites him to the 'urban homestead' she is starting. At the abandoned mill, Leonard meets 'Cille and her motley crew of cats and her equally motley crew of people, including a lovable eccentric who acts like Abe Lincoln, a couple named Boris and Natasha, who seem to be spies, a retired teacher named Tom and his streetwise, young girlfriend Liv, and a loose cannon named Richard Corey and his boyfriend 'Jill'.
Obviously, all isn't as it seems--or is it?
Is Leonard behind all the strange happenings that only started when he showed up in this strange new world, or is Leonard just the catalyst, or an unwitting pawn in a game of intrigue?
'Concerning myself,' Dan says, 'I put all my good qualities, including my brutal good looks, into the main character. The main character's flaws are taken from those I've observed in other people. And, the bad guys are products solely of my wild imagination.'"
