Violet is an art history master’s graduate burdened by student loan debt. Struggling to survive financially in the human city of Bridgeton, she accepts a highly paid, unusual job at a pharmaceutical facility in the multispecies town of Cambric Creek. She is practical and eager to maintain her independence rather than move back in with her parents. Her new role initially shocks her, but she adapts to the clinical environment and begins exploring her new community.

Rourke is a minotaur who frequents Morning Glory Farm to provide semen for pharmaceutical use.

Geillis is a centuries-old vampire who was turned outside a London concert hall in 1982 and retains a punk aesthetic. She works at La Vie Rouge, a vampire restaurant where she drains blood from human donors.

The minotaur clients are the primary visitors to Morning Glory Farm, providing the biological materials needed for erectile dysfunction pharmaceuticals.

They participate in the system largely for financial compensation.
