Anita lives in a world where magic, vampires, lycanthropes, zombies and other 'other worldly' things are 'real' and are part of her everyday life. Anita is a professional 'animator'. She has the innate power to temporarily raise the dead, and she does this for a living - a very good living. She also has a two other quasi-related 'part-time' jobs.

The first is as a special consultant to the Regional Preternatural Investigation Taskforce (RPIT) of the St. Louis Police Department (SLPD) for crimes of a specific preternatural involvement. These are often of a very violent nature. And the other is as the designated Vampire Executioner for the surrounding tri-state area. She stakes vampires that have broken the law. This job was much easier when they weren't considered citizens and vampires didn't have any rights under the law.
