One day Eugene Wren, owner of an art-gallery near the Portobello Road, finds a sum of money in the road near his house. Instead of handing it in to the police, he finds it easier to stick a note on a lamppost requesting that anyone who has lost a sum of money slightly above or below that which he has found (to wheedle out false claimants) contact him to retrieve it. It's this act that brings the lives of several different people - some harmless, some troubled, some malicious, some foolish - into orbit with one another, with sometimes devastating results. But whose lives, exactly, will be negatively touched? And who'll escape the bustle of Portobello's underbelly unscathed?
