After breaking off a dead-end relationship and fleeing a dead-end job, Estelle Hermann, a twenty-nine year old woman, has thrown herself into a brand new writing career in an attempt to outrun the ticking clock of her twenties. Over the past few years she has tried to trickle-publish fantasy and sci-fi works of varying qualities, but the only ones that have really succeeded are those pocket-sized supernatural romances that are sickly sweet and stick to one's brain like molasses. She's not proud of them, but she hopes that the traction her pen-name has gotten will allow her to travel throughout the states to get some hands-on experience with the supernatural to enrich her content further. Her first destination? A little town in north-eastern Oregon called Gravity Falls, in the middle of the supernaturally-inclined Pacific Northwest. After a long road trip and a clumsy attempt at finding her vacation rental for the season, she runs into a pair of odd older men who bleed odd vibes and scream mystery. Can a chance encounter with the two - one hyper intelligent and seeking the truth, the other colorfully charismatic and living each day to its fullest - help convince her that the summer of her life is just beginning?
