Show synopsis:

In Athens, Ohio, ordinary schoolteacher Agnes Evans happens upon a Dungeons and Dragons module left behind by her younger sister, Tilly, who unexpectedly passed away in a car crash as a teenager. To learn more about her late sister, Agnes enlists the help of others to embark upon an unexpected adventure. In the process, together with her late sister, she meets, confronts, fights with, and, sometimes, slays elves, demons, fairies, gelatinous cubes, evil cheerleaders, and others based on real people who had been in her sister’s life as friends and enemies. Ultimately, Agnes must confront some of her real demons, acknowledge her sister for who she was, and, finally, battle a dragon before she can proceed with her own, no-longer-ordinary, life.
