Jack Puttman lives on the very edge of the world's underground magical community. He comes from a family of minor talents - people with just enough power to be aware that there's something more going on in the world, but who are generally regarded as insignificant to the major players of the world. Despite that, he's determined to make his own way through life using his minor magical Gift. He just needs to get enough clients. And maybe get paid in cash instead of trade. When his landlady asks him to check up on some spooky rumors going on in another apartment, though, Jack's life trajectory is changed forever, and he has to figure out what to do with the alien - and ok, incredibly hot - woman who is suddenly thrust into his life.

And then the redhead from Faerie shows up...
