Milton Kippersky just wants an easy life, but the universe has other ideas. A temporal rift in his garden unleashes dark forces, with only Milton standing between humanity and the end of life on Earth as we know it. Armed with nothing but a spatula, a sense of hope and an insatiable desire for toasted goods, Milton and an unlikely band of associates set off on the journey of a lifetime, in search of answers, solutions and the slightest sense that they might actually know what they’re doing. Will Milton rise to the challenge and discover his true purpose in life? Will humanity be saved? Will he ever get his hands on the perfect slice of toast? The answers are to be found in the garden.
