Ed revisits an old haunt when his daughter, Eli, asks him to join her and her fellow protestors at The Blackstone Oak, an ancient tree threatened by the HS2 network.

Things take a complicated twist when Jaz turns up to shoot a promotional film for the development.

Ed is approached to be the face of the film, and the lead protestor turns out not to be who she says she is...

The continuing comic saga of author of several plays, TV dramas, works of non-fiction, letters to the Â鶹Éç about the pitiful decline in standards of literature and grammar, and master of the abusive email – Ed Reardon.
