Synopsis

Meet Faye. Some would say she leads a rather dull existence. She still lives in her hometown and works two jobs, one at the local dive bar and the other as a cashier at a corporate retailer. She has to deal with troublesome ovaries, and her dad is currently receiving Hospice care. Not to mention she lives alone unless you count her beloved cat R.B., which she does.

But as Faye sees it, the devil you know can be easier than the one you don't. Despite it all she has a wonderful group of friends and makes enough money to buy herself nice things and get her nails done. She could even travel if she felt like traveling. However, there is someone, not something, missing from her life. Her best friend Mandy. Mandy hasn't been seen in a year and the case was cold from the get-go. It isn't until Faye follows a hunch and goes looking in a near by swamp that she finds answers...and much, much more.

Not Everyone Wants Roses is part small town mystery, part meet (sort of) cute, part lucid dream with sideshow worthy characters and at least one cryptid. It's a no nonsense look into the working middle class full of dark humor and definitely a little weird.
