About the story

Rafe Morrow needs rent. Lucien Ashgrove needs a consort — one human, one year, one signature — or the city of Halden revokes his right to exist in it. The lawyer who arranged it has vanished. Rafe is the only one in the room. The pay is obscene. The fine print bites.

Episodes 1–3 are free. New episodes weekly. Mature content, 18+.
