Patience Firmin has grown accustomed to her own company after her parents’ passing. But one day, after a seemingly innocuous delivery, she becomes the host to a monstrous parasitic skull that needs her body to live. Somehow, despite this disruption to her normal life, Patience learns to adapt to her strange new partner.

As they work on establishing an emotional and physical relationship, the return of Patience’s old suitor tests their new bond. Though indifferent to Patience’s old flame at first, the skull grows concerned over his host’s rekindled relationship with the easygoing guitarist. To top it all off, a dangerous, aloof hunter wants to take the skull for himself, and in his pursuit becomes entangled with Patience.

The monster, the musician, and the hunter; balancing the desires of each will send Patience on the emotional journey of a lifetime. In the company of these men, she discovers her own wants and needs—but is the cost of following her heart worth it?

Patience has barely settled into married life with her husband and their inhuman partner when they are invited to spend the holidays up north. Along the way to meeting her new husband’s family, the man and the monster begin to navigate their own relationship.

Though a less than warm greeting awaits their arrival, family cynicism is the least of their worries. A camp full of beasts and the land itself threaten to upend their new normal when a hike gone awry divides the trio.

Temptations old and new challenge them as they fight for survival in the northern wilderness. Will Patience be able to save her partners, or will there be nothing left to save?
