Verity Young breezes through life, getting by on her (fading) looks, hypnotic ability and an almost complete lack of morals.
Fate, and a timely divorce settlement leads her to set up a partnership with reclusive paranormalist, Milton Perkins.
Paying business may be slow, but evens take a peculiar turn when the duo are inpsired to embark on a search for gold, buried thousands of years ago. Pursued by a satanist and reliant on the help and compliance of borderline Asperger's scooter owners, Young & Perkins stand to make a fortune from the recovery of an iron-age haul... If only they can remember where they buried it in the first place.
