Is there a restroom? Do you have gluten-free bagels? Do you work here? Do you have a restroom? Do I buy books or rent books or what? The worst thing about a bookshop is the customers. Then there’s the gift-wrapping, the invoicing, the stock takes. The Yelp reviews that inevitably contribute to self-loathing. In his late forties, Sean is still a frustrated bookseller who should have written his novel already. Instead, he spends his days drowning in his overwhelming sense of contempt – for LA, for its readers, for its casual disdain for service. And what, or whom, is he serving anyway?

Esme Good is an entirely unremarkable young woman working a dead-end job in a city much like this, in a first draft universe that lies forgotten in one of the Creator’s cosmic drawers. Through one of the slightly more surprising quantum coincidences in recent memory, Esme ends up deleting every other possible version of herself in every other possible reality – leaving Esme with the somewhat troubling realisation: There is only one of her. This makes her not only the most important person in this, or perhaps any, universe – but it also makes her the target of an inter-galactic (wo)manhunt. We don’t have time to get into exactly why that is – but to remedy it, she has to somehow make an appointment to meet our maker and ask if they wouldn’t mind terribly fixing it, her, the world, and everything in it.
