  • The comic takes place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA about 10 years after the "Twilyte" craze exploded in popular culture. Girls who idolized the books and adored its version of "True Love" back then have now grown and must deal with the consequences of this upbringing. As a result, abusive relationships are rampant and battered women's shelters have popped up all over the city; their populations have ballooned. Main character Emily K (a character that parodies the author) works at the shelter as a clerk and spends her days transcribing audio recordings of the most damaged girls as they go through sessions of psychotherapy with social worker Louise Parcelle. Intern and secretary Renezmee "Rennie" Carmichael, who bears the name of the child raised by the protagonists of the "Twilyte" series, is a senior in college majoring in social work. Other people at the shelter include aspiring writer Desondra "Dez" Mason, her boyfriend Amir, a new therapist named Dr. Dana Leona (who occassionally brings her 10-year-old daughter Bella), and several volunteers. Despite having a dedicated staff, however, the shelter is under-funded and crowded, and struggles to become more than just a "revolving door." At first willfully ignorant of Twilyte's effects, Emily learns about its direct role in the lives of the abused women in the shelter. Through interviews and speeches, Twilyte author Stephanie Mayer is shown to be a powerful public figure in society, having gained fame and fortune 10 years earlier when her books first became wildly popular. After learning more about Twilyte and "SMayer" with the help of her colleagues, Emily develops a zeal for positively impacting society rather than begrudgingly going through the motions, and joins a budding underground feminist movement organized to oppose the effects of Twilyte. worlds collide when SMayer comes to Philadelphia to lead a rally of followers and the feminists protest.
