During his televised speech, Jason III, the ruler of a principality, notices that his satisfaction score with his electorate has fallen for the first time.  It is the first sign that he is soon to be killed in a ritual car accident.  He takes refuge in a zone inhabited by Catholic immigrants.  Here, he meets an infirm librarian who is love with him and Professor Pie, who has set himself the task of depersonalising him.
