Alone in a New York apartment, the god of comedy is melancholy, and he wants everyone to know it.

Until Nikki.

Alone in a New York apartment, the god of comedy is melancholy, and he wants everyone to know it.
Though bound to find a new person to inspire and complete an unfinished story, Sebastian, the last remaining Greek Muse, mourns the passing of his latest instrument and friend, amusing himself by successfully spooking, pranking, and sabotaging every opportunity for a potential replacement.
Until Nikki.
Driven by her own personal demons, Nikki stubbornly battles with Sebastian for mastery of the apartment. Though fully engulfed in their feud, things get all the more complicated when the two are plagued by an over-involved landlord, well-intentioned fiancé, and a dramatic Sebastian-orchestrated duel between the two that results in good old-fashioned police involvement. “aMUSEd” captures and explores our tendency to honor the dead by refusing to live, and leads us, through the ancient art of comedy, to live with the past and move forward.
