The setting is October 1879. The stage is New Georgetown, West Virginia.
A mysterious figure by the name of ''The Maker'' has entered this small community and, almost immediately upon doing so, started entering the minds of the townsfolk.
Townsfolk who are as curious as The Maker himself. Like Dr Umbründ, the pint-sized physician with a prodigious capacity for sin; like the three sisters in the house on the hill - one stern, one wild, one mysterious; like the tavern''s semi-mythical siren, ''The Bird'', who plays spellbinding music from behind a black velvet curtain, and whom no patron has ever laid eyes on; like Odell, a youth with dreams and ambitions that his craven disposition will forever prevent him from seizing; and who has spent the entirety of his erstwhile existence under the crushing heel of Clay, New Georgetown''s lead cad and chief alpha male.
As we enter these characters'' lives, and lightly tread our way through their brains, their bedrooms, their backstories and beyond, we will see what it is they all hope for and hide - and learn just why The Maker has chosen to meet them.
