Nancy spent most of her life with her mother on a business trip. When she died unexpectedly, her associates, people Nancy had never heard of, began to come out of the woodwork. They came, not only to say their respects but to hand on a legacy and usher her into the supernatural world of mystery that surrounds us all. It was the specter of a self-styled detective in ghostly white that first grabbed her attention.

Then there was a fish-man, a zombie hunter, a guy cursed with attractiveness, someone usually lucky enough not to be there, and don't get her started about the talking cat. Who were these people? Why was her father so calm about it all? Then she found out about the Demon that got her mother killed because she was having a bad hair day.

She had a choice. Gather some of her mother's friends for a demon hunting wake and learn something of her world, or leave it all behind and try to let it go? In her hand was a cryptic key. Should she follow her awakening instincts and see what it opened?
