"You know, if anybody was going to give death the middle finger, I would have thought it would be him."
Ezekiel 'Kel' Warbis is the last of them - the only one left after his two best friends (and childhood sweethearts) died tragically and gruesomely young.
Over a decade later, their loss is still a fresh wound. Kel works alone as a private investigator, wandering through the world functional but aimless, trying to live up to what his friends would have wanted for him. He has one friend, a handful of dogs, and a well-organized spice cabinet. He tries.
