wish.

London and Marvin regularly meet for coffee, discussing the cares of the day and observing other coffeeshop patrons. at the end of each meeting, they make a wish at a fountain. They’ve done this for years. But lately, something is changing. A co-worker is found dead, a young man enters their life, and their reality comes strangely unhinged.

And a singing hamster is involved.
