"Demons stay in hell, huh?
Tell that to them."
James Callaghan has a straight-forward target in mind - survive his final year at high school, graduate with flying colors, and hopefully get into the college of his choice. With a stable family, a comfortable environment, close friends, it seems quite simple, right?
Wrong.
His life turns upside-down, literally at a single spark, as he witnesses his parents perish in a mysterious fire that engulfs their home. Five years later, he is contacted by Dani Wilson, daughter of a successful business entrepreneur. Heeding her father's dying words, Dani proposes a deal - his assistance to find a classified project stolen from her father's company two days ago, in return for information pertaining to the true reason behind the death of his parents.
It takes them on a breathless chase through mankind's dark history. They are plunged into a shadowy, mythical world where myths become real, secrets are revealed, and nightmares are not simply dreams.
Can Dani and James put away their differences and work together, to find the answers they seek before time runs out? Or will the shadowy individual, who has been after them from the start, manipulating everything, prevail at the end? Hold your breath, for the very fabric of your reality is about to be torn apart.
