Waitress Thea is in search of her friend Nan, who, like many of the city's residents, has mysteriously disappeared. Freddy, a boy who knows more than he wants to share, is the key to uncovering dark secrets below the society's surface. Straddling dystopia and fantasy, the book presents modern dialogue in an alternative steampunky past flavored with Jazz-Age glamour.
