Good-natured Wobbly, a young man residing in a Victorian English village, loves Prunella, a London socialite whom he meets during her visit with Wobbly's cousin, Marigold.

As a warm and complex relationship develops among the four, Wobbly and Marigold find themselves in the painful position of imagining that their dearest friends are their rivals, a mutual fascination of sorts existing between Prunella and Tobias who, unknown to any of them, are siblings, Prunella having been forced from her parents at age two by her ruthless, manipulative aunt. Over the next four years, while Marigold waits for Tobias, Wobbly pursues Prunella with gentle persistence as she struggles between her strong sense of filial duty and her growing acceptance and love of Wobbly, whom her adoptive mother adamantly rejects. The course of their lives is, all the while, overseen and subtly influenced by the mysterious solicitor Beggintrade, for reasons of his own.

Chad, a St. Louis native, is a thirty-year-old, very successful, and very handsome consultant. He is also a recent newly single man after he and his longtime girlfriend of six years called it quits over Chad’s newfound love for social media, which became too much for Courtney to handle. After a couple of months of trying to win her back to no avail, Chad’s doggish ways returned with a vengeance. New to the social media world, his best friend Chris, who introduced him to the new platforms, warned him to be careful because some things and people are not what they seem in this virtual world. That warning though unfortunately fell on deaf ears. As Chad continues to meet and seduce new women, he will soon find himself in a number of situations where he has bitten off more than he can chew, but there is one rabbit hole with multiple tunnels that if he falls in, he will realize that it will be nearly impossible to climb out of when a revelation shocks and enrages him to the point of destruction while another may have his life and freedom on the line. Even if he gets out of one situation, will he be able to overcome the other? Will this ladies man listen to his best friends’ advice, or will he let his addiction to this new world continue to let him dig himself deeper into a hole that he can not escape? Are his friends warning that people and things are not what they seem closer to home than Chad could ever know?
