Plot summary

Tommy Fawkes, the son of comedy legend George Fawkes, takes his big chance on a Las Vegas stage and his act falls apart. He goes back to Blackpool, the English seaside resort of his childhood summers, traveling under a new name, meaning to track down unusual performers and purchase their acts. There he comes across Bruno and Thomas Parker, his father's old comedy partners, who now appear as ghouls on a ghost train ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Circus. Bruno's son Jack is a gifted comic and psychologically troubled; a corrupt policeman called Sharkey has pushed him into stealing valuable wax eggs from smugglers. Still in disguise, Tommy also meets Katie, Jack's mother.
