Mary Howell the Fourth is a chain-smoking promiscuous carpenter, famous in her small town for having recently and tragically dead parents. She's trying to hold it together for her two younger sisters, but grief is playing weird tricks on Mary. Those tricks are the three ghosts that share her name: her grandmother, great- grandmother, and great-great grandmother.

Misha's only daughter, June, is very sick. After five days at home, June's school reports her absence to the state, prompting agents from the Bureau of Order and Safety to investigate the nature of June's illness.
