Whilst investigating the death of a local swordsman, a loving author called Randy Travis uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, damp piano circulating throughout Cornwall. As soon as anyone uses the piano, he or she has exactly 100 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look grey.

Randy gets hold of the piano, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a splendid toad balancing on a crumpled swordsman, an old newspaper headline about a flying accident, a hooded maggot ranting about fingernails and a drinking well located in a creepy place.

When Randy notices his eyes have ostrich-like properties, he realises that the curse of the damp piano is true and calls in his brother, a cleaner called Tony Gloop, to help.

Tony examines the piano and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the splendid toad balancing on a crumpled swordsman particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.
