Bug Smoot was thirteen years old when her grandfather put her soul up as collateral on his dream car –a classic 1958 Cadillac Biarritz.  Now, five years later, Papa C is dead and buried, and Bug is trying to make it on her own by delivering pizzas and staying one step ahead of her landlord.  And then the repo man arrives.  Only Mr. Beals–stinking to high heaven of rotten eggs and sporting leathery wings–is not just any repo man…just as Pesto, Bug’s longtime unrequited crush, is not just any car was attendant.
