"When London artist Simon Dykes wakes after a late night of routine debauchery, he discovers that his world is irretrievably changed. His girlfriend, Sarah, has turned into a chimpanzee. And, to Simon's appalled surporise, so has the rest of humanity.
Simon, under the bizarre delusion that he is 'human', is confined to an emergency psychiatric ward. There he becomes of considerable interest to eminent psychologist chimp, Dr Zack Busner. For, with this fascinating case, Busner thinks he may finally make his reputation as a truly Great Ape. "
