Clive Steiner is a very lonely man who gets his kicks from constantly nattering to people. He has become such a phenomenon in his hometown of Harlbury that he now has the dubious reputation and honour of being labelled a Yenta. Something he wears with pride. But things will take an unfortunate turn when he realises that talking is not always that good for you...or the others on the receiving end.
