Story of Scribble and his friends,who call themselves the "Stash Raiders" and use their government benefits to buy the latest drugs,hallucinogenic virtual-reality feathers called Vurt.When Scribble and his sister Desdemona try an illegal yellow feather by the name of English Voodoo,Desdemona gets trapped in the virtual world,and the Vurt spits out an eldritch abomination in her place.The plot follows Scribble's attempts to rescue Desdemona by journeying through the odd landscape of future Manchester and the even stranger land of the feathers,all of which seem to be linked to a bizarre dreamworld bleeding into the characters' own.
