Anthony Maloney, a scholar of Victorian history, checks into a motel in Carmel, California, goes to sleep, and dreams of a priceless collection of rare Victorian artifacts. When he wakes up and looks out the window, he is astonished to find his dream has become reality: in the parking lot, an enormous assortment of Victoriana lays spread out like an open-air market. When the world gets wind of this strange and fantastic occurrence, experts arrive to examine the items and discover that, impossibly, some of the objects are identical to one-of-a-kind items only found in the British Museum, and yet somehow they are not fakes. As news of his collection spreads, Maloney finds himself besieged by the news media, psychological and parapsychological investigators, antiquarians, and those who want to exploit him for their own personal gain, and soon what began as a beautiful dream spirals out of control into a terrible nightmare.
