Hayden Carlisle, a socially awkward twenty-three year old designer, begins his first professional job at the Plush Porcupine, a boutique, toy design studio in Chicago. Hard times have fallen on the Porcupine and a dark cloud hangs over its future. Maxine Porter arrives with a mysterious background and an uncanny knack for knowing things. Spellbound by the amazing Max, the eclectic crew at the Porcupine begin to prosper, while continually ruminating over who Max is and where she came from. Through Hayden's journal writing, we learn of the unlikely friendship developing between him and Max.
