Directed by John Jenks, the film is based on Stephen Fry's novel of the same name. The frustrated poet Ted Wallace is invited by his friend Logan to stay at his country estate for a while. Since some strange things have happened in the estate recently, Ted begins to investigate the reasons. David Logan, a 15-year-old boy, has a pair of hands with healing powers in the eyes of the Logans. The Logans are about to reveal David's talent to the guests at the party, but Ted uses some strange methods to prove that those strange things are actually a scam, thus saving David from the embarrassment afterwards.
