Brod, a Black alien from the planet Bodhavista, materializes in Flinders End, a shabby West London backwater. His mission: to spread love, peace, and happiness in the UK. Upon entering the Butchers Arms pub, Kim the landlady befriends him, assuming he is a bewildered migrant.

Inadvertently Brod is caught in the bitter struggle, hell-bent on saving his sanctuary, yet fearful of how his mission’s failure might be perceived on his home planet. Will he survive . . .
