Breakfast on Pluto is the story of Patrick "Pussy" Braden, an Irish transwoman who escapes from an abusive foster mother to seek out her birth mother. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery plagued by bad luck and bigotry. The novel covers her affair with a married Irish politician, his murder at the hands of either the IRA or the Ulster Defense Volunteers, and her time as a prostitute in London.
