You'd think a Delaware blue blood with a talent for shaking cocktails and a penchant for obscure historical biographies would lead a quiet life, but Dick Hunter seems to face one crisis after another. Whether it's locating the right hors d'oeuvres for a hurricane party or just trying to take a nap, nothing comes easily. Add a fussy ex-wife, a flatulent basset hound, and the flamboyant heir to a fading french fry empire, and things get downright complicated. And Dick's nemesis, the vengeful society dentist, Red Snapper, has become obsessed with trying to make Dick's life miserable.

Fortunately, Dick's young boyfriend, James, is more than just eye candy, even though his problem-solving tactics aren't always by the rules.

Together, Dick and James navigate the shifting sands of life in Rehoboth Beach in this Jeeves and Wooster meet Tales of the City romp.
