As lives go, Buster Heywood's got it pretty good. His job with the town offices of Aviario pays him just enough to keep a roof over his head and food in his kitchen. His job even keeps him free from having to deal with his social anxiety. He's always seen things a bit different from everyone else, and now that he's found a comfortable little bubble, he'll do everything he can to stay inside it.

But life never goes as planned, and a combination of the wrong place and the wrong time warp Buster's cozy, quiet life into something he would never have imagined. His problems quickly become more than just a contest between his structured worldview and the way things are: soon he's toeing a line between following his sense of duty and losing himself to a dark, dangerous underworld.
