Octavia Klein unearths a box of buried treasure while digging a fertility garden in the backyard of her Montreal mansion. The treasure belongs to one foul-mouthed leprechaun who promises her three wishes if she’ll just hand back the treasure, “you periwinkle snot-nose cavorter with beasts!”
Everyone knows three wishes can kill you in fairy tales.
But this ain’t no 21st century fairy tale. Octavia can outwit a leprechaun any day, any time.
Right?
