A prominent family. A routine task. A fantastic story. A wild chase. An uncertain legacy.
Life is an amalgam of intersecting story lines. But one needs a place to start, a frame of reference, a platform from which to jump.
Could a 200 year old discovery provide inspiration? Are the characters we meet more connected than they first seem? Is history a collection facts or an anthology - ripe for interpretation?

Come with Philip Stanhope on a journey across the country, through his family's hidden past and back to the fulfillment of his imperfect potential.
3, 2, 1.... Westward!
