“
A unique plot with such entertaining dialogue to follow along with. I loved the twist at the end, and found it a hilarious read! ”

“
A dark comedy about fate, and coincidence, chance, and (possible) vengeance, and the mysteries that connect a table at a small Chinese restaurant the factory where fortune cookies are made. It's fun and suspenseful, with joke after joke even as the tension continues to ratchet up to the conclusion. ”

“
This was so much fun. It was super creepy yet funny, charming yet fierce, the characters all were well defined and had their own unique voice. Levine pulled off a fantastic piece with this show, and the ending of it is both thrilling and humorous. Great work! ”
Cindy: The waitress at a Chinese restaurant. Not necessarily Asian.
Barry: 20's-50's, Stephanie’s husband, a little touchy
Stephanie: 20's-50's, Barry’s wife, mischievous
Non-Speaking Roles:
