When your family home has been demolished by a ruling power terrified of mutiny and the love of your life gives their heart to another, wouldn't you search the open city for a better future?
This is a story of one Londoner who found himself in this situation. He just happens to have fur and four legs.

But back in Richmond Park, Edward the alpha-stag is paranoid: if Vince's departure encourages a multi-species uprising, the deer will lose their power – and Edward is hardly the only tyrannical ruler to be feared in the capital's parks.
Just what has Vince started beneath the eyeline of London's human population?
