Story tells how the decrepit city of Uroconium gets renamed as Viroconium - City of Waste. A failed poet, Ardwick Chrome, is haunted by a recurrent dream of the Luck of the Head, of winning a sheep's head to eat in a folk ritual. To escape it he meets a masked woman at the Aqualate Pond (which does not contain water) who gives him a diseased, decaying sword, which he must use to kill Mama Dooley, who freed the city from the Analeptic Kings. Absolutely nothing ends well.
