Her best friend and confidante merely believes that Jaye will tell her the truth about whatever is wrong when she's ready, rather than accept the actual truth that Jaye has already disclosed. Despite Jaye's apparent life of Dismotivation (dead-end retail job, trailer-park home, vintage clunker car), they would rather believe stress is the cause rather than the effect of her episodes. To her aging post-yuppie parents, her closeted lesbian overachieving sister, and her atheist theology-grad-student brother, she is undergoing a stress-related psychotic episode. Worse, if she attempts to ignore their commands, they badger and pester her until she relents. Their cryptic clues lead Jaye to bettering the lives of people around her (usually in cleverly-conceived, indirect ways) while simultaneously causing her to seriously doubt her sanity. Magic Realism asserts itself when inanimate objects-everything from statues, bookends and plush dolls to cartoon business logos, but always animals in some form-begin to talk to her.
Jaye Tyler ( Caroline Dhavernas) is a young woman with a useless Ivy League degree and no desire to pursue a career, working as a retail clerk in a Niagara Falls souvenir shop.
