Going to bed can really take it out of you. Especially if you suffer from insomnia and are stranded alone in an empty hotel, with just the staff and your own fevered imagination for company. As the sleep deprivation takes hold, how do you shrug off the night sweats? Exploring the hotel, and your own troubled thoughts, will send you to many strange places.

Except, of course, to sleep.

Loyal butler Jonathan is sent to rescue the failing Blueberry Inn, unaware his blinkered Lord plots to leave it to him and three chaotic staff as a social experiment. When the Lord dies suddenly, Jonathan discovers he's a co-owner of the Inn and has just one month to save it. Battling sabotage from furious heirs, the mismatched team (and a pig!) rally their communities, securing the Inn's future against all odds.
