Everyone working on Aubade Lane is a little strange. There’s Grace, who runs Dimples Dolls, Chet, who wrangles carts at Health Ways Groceries, and then there’s Ruella, a fortuneteller who runs Lifelines Psychic Clinic. They’re all about to find their quirky existences intertwined in a bizarre, supernatural, and disgusting affair that none of them will be able to forget, even though they'll probably want to.
