Terezi Pyrope is an articulate author from industrial Scotland. She leads a contented life. However, all that changes when Terezi books a summer holiday to derelict Los Angeles. At first Terezi finds Los Angeles very derelict. Then there's the mysterious, kind homemaker, Equius Zahhak, who makes her feel uneasy. When Equius invites her on a cooking expedition, Terezi begins to realise that Equius is a deeply spiteful and giving man. Terezi knows in her heart that Equius is the man for her. However, to secure her happiness, Terezi must fend off the selfish fishmonger, Nepeta Leijon, who wants to get her claws into Equius. Using her evil toast and a mutual love of cats, Terezi sets out to snare Equius once and for all.
