It Begins With A Wedding, Held In The Small San Francisco Forest Of Bottle Grove - Bestowed By A Wealthy Patron For The Public Good, Back When People Did Such Things.

The Couple At The Altar Are The Newly Named Nickels, As The Bride Is Emphatic About Changing Her Name - There Is Plenty About Her Old Life She Is Ready To Forget. Set In San Francisco As The Tech-boom Is Exploding, Bottle Grove Is A Sexy, Skewering Dark Comedy About Two Unions - One Forged Of Love And The Other Of Greed - And About The Forces That Can Drive Couples Together, Into Dependence, And Then Into Sinister, Even Supernatural Realms.
