Jake Benn is a household name rising star thanks to his role on Market Square, an EastEnders-style soap opera. However, after his character is seemingly written out of the show, Jake is now facing an uncertain future. In addition to his father's anger issues, the UKfamily's most popular soap operafinancial troubles and the demands of his mentally handicapped brother, Jake's home life feels like it's about to implode.
The structure of the story is quite unique. It is set out as what seems to be a transcript of a web series, created by Jake. The dialogue is not laid out in prose form, as such, but instead is more like a transcript. Each chapter is called an 'episode' instead, and has the cast of Market Square portraying either people Jake interacts with or themselves. At the end of most of the chapters is the comments section, in which fans of the series or characters in the books comment on the videos, and occasionally hurl abuse at each other (as is the way with the internet).
