Jennifer Lewis has absolutely no business conducting an orchestra. She can't read music properly. She can't hear pitch. Her baton technique is a public hazard. And her thirty-five-dollar velvet tailcoat is held together with duct tape. Unfortunately, she's also the only person capable of saving the world. When Jennifer buys a mysterious orchestral manuscript for $49.99 on eBay, she accidentally summons an undead orchestra of elite nineteenth-century musicians-eighty skeletal virtuosos who demand one final, flawless performance before they can return to the grave.
There's just one problem. Perfect music will open the gates of Hell. The worse Jennifer conducts, the safer everyone is. Now she has three weeks to train a furious undead orchestra, survive the cutthroat world of classical music competitions, outmaneuver arrogant critics, and convince the artistic establishment that every catastrophic mistake she makes is actually avant-garde genius. With a pompous ghostly concertmaster demanding musical perfection and a shameless promoter determined to turn demonic orchestral chaos into a viral sensation, Jennifer must walk the impossible line between artistic fraud and actual apocalypse.
Because when the fate of humanity depends on playing music badly, being completely tone-deaf might just be the greatest talent of all. A wildly absurd dark comedy filled with undead musicians, supernatural chaos, classical music satire, workplace humor, and razor-sharp parody of the modern art world.
