In Newford, instrument maker Max Trader wakes up one morning in the body of Johnny Devlin, a local small-time conman. Trader is a solitary, quiet, and responsible guitar maker; Devlin is a lady-killer, a drunk, and a charming, chronically unemployed loser. When the two inexplicably wake in each other's bodies, Devlin gleefully moves into Trader's stable, comfortable life, leaving Trader penniless, friendless, and homeless, with nowhere left to go but beyond the streets of Newford into an otherworld of dreams and spirits - where he must confront both the unscrupulous Devlin and his own deepest fears.
