Ebonie was just a young woman seeking companionship after failing at most of the important things in life. That had been her first mistake, not the failing part, but thinking she could successfully find a lover (husband hopeful). Now she was just young, maybe still a woman (depending on if one consider only human females to be women) , but she was diffidently something else now. But in pure Ebonie fashion, she was somehow even failing at being turned into a supernatural being. Great.

They always tell you the cute origin story, the one filled with romantic gestures and handsome but jaded boys going against all odds to get the girl because she's the one for him. They never tell you what happens after. How even though you're one hundred percent in it, he never truly is. How, while you're blissfully planning up, he's planning his way out and how, no matter how many times he tells you it can never be more, he's "too" messed up for that, that you will always dismiss it because you much rather hear him say "I love you."

However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them.
