A true-blue Aussie emigrates to England for his life-time adventure and lands in the Town of Rugby, England. Possessing an interest in English history, he seeks out adventures to experience within the new cultural dimensions. Initially, this seems limited to experiences encompassing cultural differences.He takes a teaching position at a school in Rugby and discovers huge differences between his laid-back Aussie culture and the daily English culture. Enduring Aussie put-downs, he gives as good as he gets. However, he takes things too far on occasions resulting in him being viewed as an unpredictable 'Aussie nutter'.Adventures quickly creep up on him, but he views the unfolding events as a wind-up from his newly met acquaintances. He is sucked into ever weirdly developing circumstances, where he is forced to suspend his disbelief and go with the flow.Alexandra becomes the new love of his life and he becomes deeply besotted by her captivating looks, character and alluring personality. As long as they are together, he decides he can tolerate her surreal sudden appearances, disappearances and special quirks. He came to England for adventure and he is now enveloped by it.He and Alexandra tour the famous Rugby School and his surreal world explodes into the fanciful underbelly of the connection between the town and the school. His adventures start questioning his very existence.How will he respond, because he was warned by Martin, the Leader of the Paranormal Club about such events which led Martin himself having a long mental recovery for his sanity. There is far more to the town of Rugby than meets the eye. It appears that it is something that has been there for centuries, evading the public eyes of past and present residents of the town.
