Alex Hunter, driving through the remote rural English countryside, swerves and crashes his car to avoid an apparition in the winding road. When he awakens he finds himself in Strangehaven, a gently off-kilter village that he first doesn't want to leave - and then finds himself entirely unable to escape. He soon encounters some of the village's bizarre inhabitants, including an Amazonian shaman, a man who claims to be from the planet Nimoi, a woman with talking pets, and more. But who is the woman in the fish tank?
