In a single morning, Will Sampson's life is tossed in a blender. He has his dog put down, his job takes a turn for the ugly, and his marriage crumbles. When he tries to outrun his problems, he stumbles upon a little community called Villeneaux, where he finds peace, tranquility, and the warmth of friendship and love. He also finds Ferris Salazar, a man who dubs himself Pal Tailor. He appears to be an eccentric lunatic, but makes an offer that Will is too morbidly curious to refuse. As Will settles into his new life, strange things start happening around Villeneaux. People and animals are struck down by a bizarre illness, one that causes horrific physiological and psychological symptoms. Will, along with a troop of friends, are quick to point the finger at Villeneaux's pariah, Ferris Salazar.

But what is Pal Tailor up to? What is his end game? Is he a chaotic savage, or a misunderstood genius? You decide. Come and meet Pal Tailor, if you dare.
