It¿s been six months since plumber Tom Paretski was hit by a shocking revelation about his family, and he¿s been avoiding dealing with it ever since. His lover, PI Phil Morrison, wants Tom to dig deeper into his history and try to develop his psychic talent for finding things, but Tom¿s not nearly so keen. Just as he decides to bite the bullet, though, worse problems crawl out of the woodwork.

Young Devil¿s Dyke barmaid Marianne has an ex, Grant Carey, who won¿t accept that things are over between them, and he¿s ruthless in dealing with anyone who gets in his way. When Carey threatens an old friend of theirs, Phil and Tom step in to help¿but that makes them targets themselves.

What with his uncertainty about Phil¿s motives, Tom¿s family doing their best to drive a wedge between them, and the uncovering of an ugly incident in Phil¿s past, Tom¿s not sure who he can trust¿and the body he finds in the pub cellar isn¿t the only thing that stinks.
