A restoration project on a 500-year-old manor in Provence draws antiques-dealer Michael Fischer, the title character in Michael's St. Michael into a terrifying encounter with a violent and unquiet past. And when a homophobic teenager named Slayde destroys his gay neighbour's cherished collection of garden gnomes, he learns to his horror that the gnomes in Gnome Man's Land are not the gentle creatures everyone thinks they are.
