There is a society that lives amongst us that we know very little about. The beings that comprise this society are visible but hardly ever noticed. You vaguely see them walking along the shoulder of the road carrying a nondescript bundle or sitting on a wood bench outside a mall or near a community park clutching a paper bag or in a crowd waiting to cross a busy intersection and a myriad of other locations where they are avoided or just ignored. And if and when by chance we do notice them ...

Knotcher Land is an account of what happened when beings from outside appeared on the planet known as Knotcher Land. Upon arrival the outsiders, called Lloyds, conflicted with the natural inhabitants of Knotcher Land and eventually with each other. The natural inhabitants consisted of four kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Insect and microorganisms. The Lloyds consisted of four different races: Black, Yellow, White and Red.
