Full of treasure, romance, and the consequences of history and destiny, Maude is the story of a small town's locals, cursed to stay forever within its limits, subject to the whims of their valley. Their myriad stories are collected and retold by an enigmatic narrator.

These and many other stories can be found in the place between fact and fiction, where the unbelievable is true and the mundane is myth.
