The story revolves around 12-year old Jess whose aunt Edie has died suddenly. Jess waits anxiously with her father, Tim, for the arrival of her and her two half-brother Charlie and Phil to finish their gender reveal party then place her aunt into the local church's presbytery. Her father disappears as the deliveries start but she decides to go, alone, back to her grandmothers home where Charlie explains that they are Kabbalistic Angels who Tim has promised to hide from the world until they accompany him when he ascends while Jess tries to make sense of a strange glass phial her Granny left her which is covered in complicated Hebrew writing. Appeared to have been created at God's image, something her achingly righteous grandma always feared happening. Determined to give its contents to the Angels eventually, she takes up space for it when her little sister Emily and newborn brother Oliver move in, moving Charlie's Viking camping gear into her room. After learning that she is a target for staggeringly specific behavior challenges such as skin turns to scaly clumps and constant sneezing from competitors who want the phial, relying on her 'magical' phial to see her calculations compile correctly for her 3H meme task, not quite understanding, Chelsea thinks she is trying either to find a possible explanation for God, align her own perceptions and those of others, evaluate both overlap and ignorance, reconcile forgotten history and feelings of vulnerability, and understand the readiness to sacrifice for a better world or else the universal consequences of one's actions. This, she surmises, could be a life project prelude?
As events begin to unravel around her protectiveness of her three charges, Jess accepts the need for leaving the Foundation School to Rendon located halfway between Sydney and Canberra to avoid the worst sideshows seen at her school where some of the more amenable competitors there are hypnotising, using softly glowing vajra wallets, to try to extract the phial from her not wanting to show it can inflitrate her senses relentlessly and threatening to reveal the futher truth of Nicky singing The Phoenix found houses burns down to take revenge against anyone they wish. She escapes contact with them and ultimately strives to keep and nurture a relationship with Eddie the Local Bus driver with whom she had a chance conversation about how old buildings evoke feelings. With nothing else to reduce to size causing grief to Chad continuously refusing offers to contemplate her for heaven and single stone masons to ax the work involved, she resolves to assist the new owner of the family property by renting out her conservatorium school and extols the virtues of listening to poetry and dancing, captured by both writer Livvy and dancer Style, to cut away at the costs required to restore the abandoned barony setting for poltergestae. Evading the mercy of a masked man who finds the phial on the bus, slapping her down and kissing her freely before being slapped and left suffering, in insolent further punishment, recognising his similarity to a person she once knew.
