Kye Lovato left their hometown in search of a better future, but when their estranged mother passes away, they return to their parish to settle her affairs. Even though Kye escaped their traumatic past, being back in swampy Madison, Louisiana only worsens their debilitating depression, increases their dissociative episodes, and intensifies the intrusive voice plaguing their every thought.
The moment Kye steps foot into their childhood home, they know something is wrong. That night, they come face to face with the shadowy presence driving them mad: the handsome demon duke, Eli, who offers them an irresistible deal. In exchange for their soul, Eli will give them pain, pleasure, and power.
Kye set a path for themself-live fast, die young-and Eli seems like the perfect exit route. With nothing to lose, they agree.
But after an impromptu visit from a local ICE agent, Kye forms an unlikely friendship with their mother's bookkeeper and stumbles into an insidious mystery surrounding their family's homegrown alebrije business. Met with ghosts, displaced employees, and a garage filled with unfinished artwork, Kye can't help but wonder. . . What was their mother hiding? And why is a rogue officer interested in Lovato Alebrijes?
Kye is possessed, unkempt, and chasing death, but as stubborn as they are, they're the only person left alive who can resurrect the family business and carry the Lovato legacy, and their only ally is the demon possessing them.
