The Hereafter app has changed everything for the folks in Mitchell, even if they're slow to admit it. The ghosts in the streets of their rural midwestern town are now at their fingertips, waiting to séance at the tap of their phone screens. But the old traditions are slow to fade, and despite the suicide of a local high-schooler rumored to be connected with the app, the same rusted carnival rides and old wooden food stands rise for the yearly Persimmon Festival at the start of harvest season. Dirk, a failed engineering student from Mitchell who has an uncomfortable past with Hereafter, and a dead software genius named Flori hidden in a cracked version of the app on Dirk's phone, take the metaphorical festival stage. Together, Dirk and Flori start to dig into the cemetery of uncomfortable questions the new app has posed for this little piece of Indiana. But when Hannah, one of Dirk's childhood friends, is the next person threatened, he and Flori have to decide if they're willing to risk everything they've worked for to help Shelly, Leo, Rich, and Hannah herself to stop the unholy force behind the afterversions in the app.

Part Twilight Zone fanfiction, part teenage mystery-solver, every last bit an over-the-top screenplay in verse full of friendly iambs and evil trochees--MitcHELL is a twisted mix of science fiction and horror set in the rural heart of southern Indiana.
