A whimsical, deliberately ambiguous mystery-comedy about a paranormal investigator's pursuit of a talking mongoose in 1930s Isle of Man, balancing skepticism with wonder.

In 1935, Hungarian-American para-psychologist Nandor Fodor began his investigation of a strange occurrence on the Isle of Man. An average British family, the Irvings, claimed to have been contacted by a mysterious entity at their farm. A talking mongoose. Named Gef (Pronounced "Jeff".)
