Something After All

Dean Sardelle is in trouble. The family's pet store empire is sinking. Some say it's because Dean's old man talks to fish. Others say it's because Dean is the poster child millennial, living with his parents and playing video games all day. His mother's health issues are drowning the family in medical debt. Their last hope was to send Sheila-Dean's motivated older sister-off to college to get a business degree. But if the tuition doesn't finish them, waiting four years will. In walks Midas Murphy, a silver-tongued fellow with a golden touch. He says he can help. What follows will send Dean on a voyage through industry, espionage, alien sex cults, suicide, and a murder; and somewhere between truth and deception lies salvation for the family. Or not.
