The story follows Maria – a teenager whose mother used to be a hoarder. Now (set in the 90s) she lives in a foster home where a previous resident, Michael, inspires her to revisit the childhood memories and passions that she has repressed.

When Kal meets Molly it feels like love at first sight. Until he suspects it's not love that binds them, it's grief. Acclaimed artist Sukhminder Kaur hires Kal to write the catalogue copy for her new exhibition. She likes his cynicism and admires his meticulous and dispassionate style. She's photographing herself in tableaux recreating the Tarot's darkest cards. Death. The Hanged Man. The Devil. The Tower. As Kal is sucked into Molly's plight, he unravels and starts to believe someone or something may be scripting his life.
