Devoted couple Jack and Daria hit the road on a thrilling and hilarious adventure to track down their friend Jamie and save her from a demonic possession. With the help of the experienced and insightful Monsignor Jenkins, they journey across the country, facing off against supernatural forces in situations that can be terrifying and absurd, often at the same time.
With Daria's quick wit, Jack's fearlessness, and the Monsignor's expertise, they're ready for anything. This supernatural comedy is a raucous tale of love, friendship, and the power of laughter in the face of danger. A pulse-pounding (and sidesplitting) journey filled with thrills, chills, and plenty of snark awaits.

(quietly) Let me give you a nickel’s worth of free advice, since you’re new around here. Watch out for the boss. He takes an interest in… interesting people.
I don’t ask questions most of the time. You two looked like you needed some help. Her? She didn’t need me. Besides, it was like old home week in here, she was yukking it up with half the demons in this place.
Then they’d better learn to run.
Gavin is a human regular at the Velvet Veil. With a heart of adventurer and some discreet connections, he is the perfect ally to help Jack and Daria find their missing friend. While friendly, Gavin is inquisitive, secretive, well-connected, and very knowledgeable.

Hello! Well, it’s nice to see a pair of friendly faces in this place - especially when one is as lovely as yours, my dear. Please, sit down!
Gavin DuBrow. D-U-B-R-O-W. Some people miss the “W.” Adventurer. Explorer of the unusual. Here, take my card.
I’ve made some discreet enquiries, and I’m afraid your friend has attracted some very unfortunate company.
The Survey Imp is a polite and jovial creature that enters into the Velvet Veil to ask information of those he can find. He leaves as quickly as he arrives, yet his curiosity remains to be a key trait of his.

Excuse me, do you have a moment for a quick survey?
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being eternal damnation would be a comfort and 10 being I’m already in heaven, how would you rate your current spiritual condition
Fair enough. That’s our most popular answer.

Human mating ritual? The drinks. The prolonged eye contact. The laughter.
And you’re still negotiating? Most humans stop after the first year. Humans are fascinating.
