[edit] Plot introduction
In The Unlimited Dream Company, a man named Blake crashes a stolen aircraft into the Thames River outside the London suburb of Shepperton. Whether he survives the crash to become a sort of supernatural messiah for the small town or if he actually drowns and, dying, imagines the whole thing is never truly revealed.
