ORLA! is a romcom/creature feature mash-up about a lonely woman struggling to navigate the Seattle singles scene while sometimes turning into a man-eating monster.

Orla Bard is an antique restorer, romance novel enjoyer and keen birder who has a secret. She is afflicted with The Ick, a monstrous entity dwelling inside her, who violently emerges whenever Orla feels too stressed, angry or afraid. She is unable to rid herself of this curse, and The Ick needs to feed, and so Orla has decided to use her powers to help other women by removing the worst men from the dating pool. But when she finally meets a guy she actually likes, and finally has a chance at a love story of her own, will she be able to keep her inner monster under control?
