Anima Libera - Sex, Lies, And Rosen Gates

Rick is a 34 year old male who serves as the right hand of the city of Toronto. He has no goals in life, instead opting to focus on his own survival and immediate gratification. After having run away from home at the age of 13, he has a chance encounter with an individual named Frank who leads him to his farm in Bowmanville. Without having any knowledge of Frank's true motivations, he takes the opportunity to have a roof over his head and study the occult in order to free himself from the shackles of reality. Unfortunately, this all ends in tears as he is unwittingly possessed by the spirit of The Legion who takes advantage of Rick's lust for power and control by guiding his hand. Realizing what he's done, Rick flees from the farm with the haunting memory and constant taunts of The Legion tearing away at his psyche.

Two straight days of running later, he finally finds himself in the city of Toronto who appears to him in visions - much like it had to the shamans that once lived in her lands. The city sees Rick as a kindred soul; lacking in direction and only wanting to find some manner of personal identity. They strike a bargain where Rick is told where to go through ambiguous messages to carry out her wishes and in return she shields him from the ever-present threat of being consumed by inner demons.
