17th February 1960
In the enigmatic Carlisle Community of Masefield Avenue, where secrets and whispers intertwine daily, the atmosphere crackles with intrigue. Today, the funeral of Jay Shakespeare-a notorious heavy drinker and long-time patron of the neighborhood-draws an unusual crowd. As the procession winds through the avenue, tensions rise; one resident fumes at the adulation he receives despite his less-than-saintly reputation. The air is thick with whispers and buried grievances, making this farewell anything but ordinary.
