Colin Blaze is a (possibly private) detective cursed by a witch to have only cases that no right-thinking person would ever believe were real. The witch hoped that Blaze would be discredited and forced to quit. Instead, Blaze is the champion of the bizarre and marginalised oddities of London.

Colin Blaze is visited by an elderly man who claimed to be 204-years-old. The man’s faded and ancient-looking passport says he is Colin Blaze. They even share a birthday.
