The life of a small town librarian is turned upside down by the return of a book overdue by 113 years. It unleashes a detective spirit in him as he tries to track down the person who returned the book as they have a very large fine to pay. Before long adventure takes over where duty began, and th quest takes on a mythical quality as he becomes convinced he is searching for an alternate truth to Everyman.

With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
