Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a TEMPEST like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, but it will heal emotional wounds as well. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda - and also brewing revenge. After twelve years, his chance finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his TEMPEST and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?

The rest of his life. How long that time had once felt to him. How quicky it has sped by. How much of it has been wasted. How soon it will be over.

It didn't take Felix long to discover that it was easy to disappear, and that his disappearance was borne lightly by the world at large.

He can sense the rest of his cast emerging as if from a fog, their faces indistinct but present.
