The Harrows are a typical suburban family who, since time immemorial, have borne a sacred and terrible charge.

Some generations on, the surviving population exists amid the rubble of modernity, wearing our cast-off clothing, worshipping celebrities as dim gods, and using emojis in place of written language.
