Wilson Lander suffers from The Dread, the relentless sensation that something terrible is always lurking in the coming minutes. Afraid of change and chance, he leads an unsatisfying life tempered by the absence of risk - until he meets Cricket Page, a woman emblazoned with wild desire, a sailor ripened by her life at sea, and the prisoner of a hidden existence.
