Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy leads a quiet life in London with a steady job and a loving fiancée; it's a life he has carefully constructed to be as far removed as possible from his flamboyant and perpetually embarrassing father. But when his dad drops dead on a karaoke stage in Florida, Charlie's meticulously ordered world begins to unravel. The funeral brings a shocking revelation: his father wasn't just a man, he was Anansi, the ancient West African trickster god. And as if that weren't enough, Charlie learns he has a brother he never knew existed, one who inherited all of their father's divine charm and magical abilities.

When this brother, who calls himself Spider, enters Charlie's life, things go from strange to chaotic. Spider is everything Charlie is not: confident, effortlessly cool, and literally god-like. He promptly proceeds to make Charlie's life more exciting, and infinitely more complicated, turning his world upside down with a series of supernatural events. To reclaim his life from the brother who is both his opposite and his own blood, Charlie must embark on a journey that will take him from London to the Caribbean and even to the beginning of the world, forcing him to confront ancient gods and the magical heritage he never knew he had.
