Tooley thinks he's the unluckiest man on Earth. He wishes for help from the Friendly Folk who legends say roam the countryside looking to bring good fortune to hapless people. When Tooley meets Hooks, a strange looking little man, he believes him to be one of the Friendly Folk and quickly invites him into his house. If Tooley thought he was unlucky before, he's about to discover how much more difficult things are with Hooks as a house guest.
