Aster Loxley wakes up in The Freak Circus two months before Day 1, in a body that is not entirely human, in an apartment she did not rent, with a job she did not apply for and a script she has memorized by heart. She has a plan: stay quiet, stay hidden, let the protagonist have her story and help her when needed.
The plan does not survive the morning she sees a red clown shoved to the ground in the street.
