The two of them reside in a suburban home-turned-fortress in small-town, New Jersey. He lead a normal life, normal for the apocalypse at least, until one day when a mysterious stranger breaks into his house and begins the first part of a journey that would test his very soul against the powers of madness, and what happens when it leads to the largest conspiracy ever unveiled by man.
