Nathaniel J. Cauliflower's distinguished role in the afterlife as the caretaker of the Musing Department is thrust into jeopardy when a single inspiration is stolen. With the very nature of time fracturing, Nathaniel enlists the help of the department's nine greatest modern day muses to assist in its provisional repair. Among these encouraging leaders is previous antisocial motivator Annette Slocum. Much to Nathaniel's chagrin, Annette's presence in the office stirs a ferocious unraveling of his secret backstory - an epic tale of deceit and murder sweeping from 19th century Paris to present day. When more inspirations are stolen, Nathaniel's unsettling past vicariously forces him into the spotlight as the prime suspect. With time splintering further, Nathaniel must clear his name by taking ownership of his previous, darkest, soul-shattering affairs and fight to reclaim the hereafter agency that he, for so many centuries, has devotedly sought to protect.
