After the peculiar and puzzling deaths of six local students, Sara Foley, a senior in High School, is forcibly sent overseas by her mentally unstable and misguided mother, to stay with "relatives," who could just as easily qualify as strangers, for how well known or trusted they are by the Foley family.
It is summer, and Sara is accompanied on her journey by her older sister Ann, who has been instructed to look after her during their stay in Ireland. Completely irresponsible, her eighteen year old, "older" sister conjures more chaos than she quells.
On their first night abroad the sisters Foley get lost - in both body and spirit - having drunkenly strayed miles away from their intended homestay.
Rote Idlers' Palimpsest chronicles their cross-country adventures, wherein they encounter allies, enemies, (love interests and lunatics) accomplices, and characters arguably more detached and deranged than they themselves.
In the end they grow to suspect an elevated level of the esoteric runs the elaborate and eclectic lines of their family lineage, yielding some, but not all answers as to the cataclysmic deaths that set their initial journey in motion.
