With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. But they're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client. That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes, so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world.

The Island of Tost has become famous due to an unexplained rise in the birth rate, which national papers have attributed to the aphrodisiac power of the local cheese. Jim, the landlord, is struggling with the influx of amorous guests. However he is also being ignored by his mid-wife, girlfriend, Maggie, who is determined to solve the fertility mystery. Is it the cheese or the whisky? Murdo is the elderly, distillery worker and Calum is the cheesemaker who along with the Rev. Fairchild and Mr Carmichael, the teacher, are served at the MacDonald Arms by Lucinda — barmaid and white witch.
