So, Claudia is delighted when a plum job opportunity falls right into her lap.

The hours are weird and there’s no option to work from home, but Claudia is happy to be diversity-hired if it gets her mind off things. And she soon discovers an unexpected side-perk: secretly tampering with the memories of her friends and family. Just small scrubs, at first. The time her skirt got stuck in an escalator. The time she said “rizz” in front of a Gen Alpha. But when a mortal meddles with the sacred, the consequences can be severe.
Playwright Eric Jiang (Rhomboid, ORIGIN STORY) and director Nicole Pingon (Moon Rabbit Rising, werkaholics) join forces for an epic underworld dive into family, forgetting and the dire consequences of commodifying the divine.
