The town is notorious for sightings of a mysterious creature known as Bigfoot. There, Lemonade meets Tobin Sky, a young entrepreneur leading a company called Bigfoot Detectives Inc. Their chance encounter sparks an adventurous friendship that leads Lemonade into the world of cryptozoology, mythology, and the many wonders that lie beyond the ordinary world.
