Dale Everward is a man with a problem, in a land which is really just making everything a lot worse, even if it has the best intentions. Poppy Schadenfreude is a woman with her whole life planned out, and probably neatly sorted into little temporal boxes, until she meets Dale. Together, the two are forced on a journey into the weird, wonderful, and really quite terribly dangerous, as they involuntarily explore Mortislon in the best (or at the very least, the cheapest) way.
