Sinossi

Melia is a Secret Agent in North West England and resents being sent off on a simple assignment to catch drug peddlers. But Afghanistan has fallen and the world has turned upside down. Running a late-night observation in Buile Hill Park in Salford she is astonished to be confronted by the tiny people from the Fairy realms.
The fast pace of the operation seems to be flashing backwards and forwards between the dirty streets of the city and the flowers and dells of the woodland glades. Melia is confused. What is real?
It's almost like she is living in one of those old European folk tales.
