The first section, called ‘The Death Of R.M.F’ follows a guy who attempts to take control of his own fate after leaving his strong boss. The second, ‘R.M.F. Is Flying’ shows a guy who suspects his spouse, who has lately returned after being reported missing, is an impostor. The last chapter, ‘R.M.F.
