About the series

Jaye Tyler, a young woman working at a souvenir shop near Niagara Falls, leads an aimless and uneventful life. Everything changes when the animal figurines and other objects around her mysteriously begin coming to life and sending her strange messages. At first, Jaye tries to ignore them, but their cryptic instructions repeatedly draw her into the problems of complete strangers. As she follows the bizarre clues, she becomes increasingly entangled in other people’s lives while trying to understand why these mysterious objects have chosen her.
