Britain's most famous family, The Spenders, need to get out of town in a hurry. They have been hounded from their London mews house by a riot of photographers following scandalous revelations and are now forced to move to a rundown Dower house in Oxfordshire where no one knows they are hiding.
But the family's country life is as colourful as their old town life, and with anonymous threatening notes arriving at their hideaway and the parents' marriage in jeopardy as well as financial crisis, life is spiralling out of control for them. So when Zelda's new agent comes to visit to discuss an offer she has had for Zelda to become a judge on the panel of a new TV Talent show called Fame Game, how can she afford to turn it down? And is Zelda about to find out that, in the Fame Game, the stakes are even higher than she thinks?
