Synopsis

The novel follows a group of people that have stayed overnight at ORSK to investigate strange acts of vandalism, store manager Basil and his employees Amy, and Ruth Anne. The book particularly focuses on Amy, who is unhappy because she views her work at ORSK as an unfulfilling dead-end job. During a patrol of the store Amy and Ruth Anne come across fellow employees Trinity and Matt, who have snuck into the store to record paranormal phenomena, and the homeless bum Carl, who has been sleeping in the store without anyone knowing. Although the group decides against calling the police, Amy reveals that she had called them earlier over some minor strange occurrences earlier in the night.
