Jaune had wished that they had never left that treehouse. Maybe things would be different? Maybe they could've been truly happy? Maybe he wouldn't have these scars? Maybe they could have had a family? Maybe he wouldn't feel scared by her touch? Maybe they could have lived a better life. Should he go or should he stay... his fates the same either way...

Welcome to the 1890s set in a timeline not all that different from our own. Hayden Coleridge, known to most as 'the Stranger', is revered as the best of the best in his field; bounty hunting. After years of collecting bounties, he grew restless and longed for something more - something even more wild and dangerous. The field he's about to enter is a strange one where savage monsters are the main targets and a plentiful source of income. A world where beasts colloquially known as Cryptids are man's greatest enemy. Werebeasts, Tommyknockers and ghastly beings known only as Tall-men prowl the land, preying on the weak or unsuspecting. Many have joined this profession, calling themselves Hunters while some even go further and create guilds surrounding this unforgiving lifestyle. One needs to be brave, quick and tactical to simply survive. Hayden is about to find that this job is unlike any other he's taken and will uncover secrets and an evil that will forever change him. Step into... the Damned of the Rockies.
