Officer Jack Rowan has had about all he can stand. His life already a long string of bitter disappointments, things take a turn for the worse when a fateful encounter on a lonely stretch of desert highway leaves him broken and battered. He finds comfort in a bottle and quietly drinks himself into oblivion, not caring whether he will see another sunrise. Enter Maltheus Falfax, strange proprietor of "A Fine Man's Haberdashery," a mysterious shop that can't seem to sit still. Once inside, Jack finds himself trapped, along with three other ordinary people snatched from different points in time. Together they are faced with an alluring proposition: return to their discarded lives with no questions asked, or take a stab at a new life, in a new world full of fantasy and myth, a place where both their bodies and their youth will be renewed... Of course, there's a catch. But then again, isn't there always?
