The story revolves around the Tosswill family, particularly focusing on the peculiarities of their youngest member, Timmy, who possesses an uncanny gift that allows him to perceive things beyond the ordinary.

family members, the narrative unfolds layers of familial dynamics, past grievances, and emerging relationships.
