News of the murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others breaks, and Ophelia shows up at Rory’s apartment asking for help. Mossy and Rory fear that George is in immediate danger, but soon learn that they could have been set up from the beginning. Though this comic series is fiction many of the characters are real, and the story is rooted in historical fact, specifically Charlie Manson's desire to target celebrities for violence and his infamous residence at the Spahn movie ranch. Also, this series takes place during a very specific historical timeline (Saturday, August 2 — Monday, August 11, 1969), and the events are intertwined with the Sharon Tate and LaBianca family murders that took place during those days. It features meticulously research on the Manson murders and the narrative has been developed in a way so that the events in the story could be historically plausible and a resolution is reached without contradicting the historical record.
