The main character, Frank Farrelli, lives in Karmack, a small town in the Midwest. He is in his thirties and is living with his mother after losing his job at the railway station when it was closed down a few years ago. Like a lot of small places in North America, and even some bigger and well-known cities like Detroit, the town of Karmack has no jobs to offer or a future prospects for its residents. This is the present situation for a lot of people in Trumps America today, but also for many places throughout Europe. The town of Karmack, with its declining population and demolished economy, is governed by the Sheriff, the Doctor and the Pastor - the so-called Commission - who are running the town as best as they can. But Karmack is experiencing a growing number of accidents and deaths, and the Commission realizes that they need some help, someone to convey the painful messages to the relatives when an unfortunate incident occurs. The Commission sees no other option but to employ a Middle Man, and Frank is hired as Karmack’s first official Middle Man. He takes his new job on with gusto and soon becomes the town’s beacon of bad news.
