Romeo Moon, shapeshifter (canine variety) and necromancer, is on a case. He hunts a mass-murdering former god who turns out to be family. Talk about disappointing. Then a Robber Baron associate of the mafia from Hell (literally) decides to have Romeo killed when he interferes with the baron's plans to conquer Romeo's home city. Romeo and his best-friend (half-zombie-reformed church- magician) and his girlfriend, a zombie villain (but with a good sense of humor), are all that stand between the baron's success and failure.
