But the glamour of being a barman has lost some of its lustre and the responsibility is incessant. Even a couple of famous television mediums determined to uncover the truth about the hotel's mysterious ghost can't seem to stir Vicar from the unwelcome state of \"normality\" his life has settled into.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut life in Tyee Lagoon has a way of veering away from normal, as proven when femme fatale Serena, unexpectedly freed of criminal charges, returns to town to steal back baby Frankie -- who she abandoned on Vicar's doorstep two years before -- and hopefully ensnare Tony in the process. Serena hits a new high in outrageous and dangerous behaviour, allowing no one, especially not Tony's girlfriend Jacquie O, to get in her way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the defensive, Vicar tries to protect his little family, while simultaneously attempting to stop the endless circles of his life and learn lessons about authenticity, caring, and the surprising power of his effect on others ... \u003cem\u003eincluding his mother-in-law\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVince R.
