London is about to explode! When Conrad Churchill and his friend Danarino Arcimboldo stumble across an inter-dimensional device known as the Chromatic Atlas, it draws the awareness of an entity beyond time and space. It kidnaps Elizabeth Fauntleroy and Stasia Stekloski, two women Conrad has an eye for, in order to force him to yield the gizmo. Throw into the mix an anthropomorphic coffee table with insect eyes and a time-traveling alien ninja dinosaur, and it becomes one hell of an adventure.
