Al is losing everything. First it's his car radio, then his newspaper column and then his wife, Davina. But even after all that, there's a still greater loss to come.

Davina struggles to cope with life alone and a sister who blames her for everything that has happened.

Davina meets Sue Shortstop, proto feminist, and savager of male panellists on discussion shows. As Davina gets in touch with her inner goddess, Shortstop's narcoleptic husband is getting in touch with one of his beautiful students.
