Detective John Lancy is your average every day cop working for the Boston Police Department. On one particular day on February 2nd 1925, he takes a missing person's case that soon turns into a brutal homicide and is covered up by his superiors. Detective Lancy grows suspicious and is haunted by these events; over a few days he is troubled by a reoccurring nightmare, and is being watched by Men in Black from the Bureau of Investigation keeping tabs on him. Lancy soon takes it upon himself to unearth the mystery surrounding the Ostermann Family, a name he picked up during his short lived investigation. He then journeys from Boston on up to Maine and is taken into a dark underworld of horrors beyond the grasp of our perceived worldly reality that dare not be mentioned...

The Awakening changed the face of reality itself. A cataclysm of dimensional proportions, the event unleashed all manner of demonic beasts upon the world of man and left humanity's scattered survivors trapped in an endless battle for survival. That's a battle Council Academy all-star Seth Wright learned the hard way, barely surviving his first encounter with demonic entities. Now aware of the peril mankind faces, he's desperate to learn what he must to defeat them - but the only person willing to help him is veteran demon hunter Astral Daamon, and only so she can pursue her own investigation into corruption within the walls of the Council Academy. But what they uncover together is far more terrifying than mere conspiracy - challenging everything Seth thought he knew about fighting demons. Beneath the foundations of the academy itself, an ancient and malevolent evil is stirring from its slumber - and unless Seth is willing to sacrifice what he believes could protect humanity from annihilation, this demon will rise and devour everyone he cares about. Seth is being forced to weigh the lives of his classmates against the fate of humanity. When the moment comes, will he make the right decision?
