Gresham and Eupheme, half-sisters, have spent their lives fighting, so when their train breaks down, it's inevitable they'll have an argument over the man they see videoing trains on the station platform. Eupheme believes it's possible to change sad anoraks like him into useful members of society; Gresham says he's that way for good. So they make a wager: Eupheme will turn this naff computer nerd into a suave, fashionable, interesting, attractive contemporary man. A man even Gresham could fancy.
Ian Ringfold's penchant for obscure facts and his passion for dry goods displays make this a backbreaking task. Can he stop asking celebrities for autographs and talking about train timetables. Is he going to live with him mum forever?
Both women's confidence is supreme, and Ian doesn't mind one bit. For him, the fact that the future is female is something to be thankful for. He's having a wonderful time.
