A story is never a good story unless it starts with a murder. The more unusual the murder, the better the story, generally speaking. Meet Caecilius (KAI-KILL-EE-USS) Rex, a young detective in the not-too-distant future, a smog-filled post apocalyptic world riddled with crime and conspiracy. When a new case quite literally falls at Rex's feet, he teams up with his neighbour and associate Kendra Nai, an ex-army sergeant recently dismissed, to investigate. Little do they know that the events of The Atomic Circus will be the first step to solving the case of a lifetime.
Nathan Hale, a new, young detective gets called to a town in the middle of nowhere to investigate frequent disappearances. Thinking it was a simple case, he goes in with a closed mind. But he soon discovers that this little town wasn't what it seemed to be as more disappearances occur with all on thing in common. Nathan, finds out he's way over his head, but he can't leave without finding out just what this town really is.
