Lacy finds herself dead and confused in Westminster Cemetery, where she meets Sam, a young soldier who guides her through the rules of the afterlife. She learns about Suppression, a punishment worse than death, and is tasked with providing entertainment. Lacy proposes an open mic night, which becomes a platform for the cemetery's residents to express themselves. However, as the event unfolds, long-buried truths begin to surface, leading Lacy to question everything she thought she knew about her life and death. The story is set against the backdrop of Westminster Cemetery, the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe, adding a layer of historical intrigue. The narrative explores themes of identity, self-expression, and the consequences of hidden truths. As Lacy delves deeper into her past, she uncovers secrets that challenge her understanding of the afterlife and her own existence.
