Do you dare to partake?

The family Spade has been scattered to the wind after the hijinks that took place at Sonoma County Jail and the debauchery in Southern Oregon that resulted from everything that started on the quiet and surreal calmness of the Mendocino Coast that proved to be the catalyst for the calamities that followed.
