Little do they know, they've just walked into the clutches of a shape-shifting, religious, sex cult hell-bent on adding them as their newest converts. What sort of depraved debauchery does the Church of Variable have in store for the Screw Worm and Meta Kate? Might Meta Kate and the Screw Worm actually just decide to stay of their own accord?"
