Set in the presumably fictional village of Foxby Heath (and a few extra universes), our protagonist Malakye Otieno travels back to Fox'eath in an attempt to solve the mystery brewing in his home village – where was the engineer, and did the butcher kill them? There, he faces his ex-boyfriend Adelard, and also the possibility that God may exist and there are more than one.

His second relationship, the shortest one, was unfortunately with a cop. He doesn't even remember how it happened or why, but he somehow loved Daniel. That ended on a worse episode than with Adelard. It ended with Malakye bruised, cold, aching, and losing all trust in love and life.

His third and longest-lasting relationship, years later, was with Kerys. She was always patient with him, and was honest and communicated and apologised whenever she upset him. That relationship didn't end.

Adelard, while he acted irrationally, never physically harmed or threatened Malakye. Despite his flaws, he was, for the most part, a good person. He was still always a good friend to Malakye. They just didn't work out in a relationship, and Adelard was raised to keep all his struggles inside. It just overflowed, and Malakye was there when it happened.

Daniel was never a good person. He knew he was hurting Malakye, he knew it was wrong, and he relished in having that control over someone. Nothing can redeem him, not even after death.
