Owen Lucton is a partner of firm of accountants in the Midlands city of North Bromwich. Prosperous but bored, when his car crashes into the River Avon one day he decides it is a heaven-sent opportunity. Pretending he is dead, he assumes a new identity and begins walking through the Malvern Hills towards the Welsh border, finding a contentment in the countryside he had not in the city.
