Another Britain, 1981. Following the Victorian Spiritualist movement’s ability to capture otherworldly beings, the economy is built on spectre-trading. Spartacus DANDRIDGE was a ghostfinder at the turn of the century until he was shot dead. His spirit held captive for decades, he escaped, returned to corporeality and made his way home to his mansion, where he lives with his fanatically loyal and mute manservant Shelley.
