Ghouls are the monsters lurking in the darkest shadows, the ones that sit and wait for their next meal, silent and deadly killers. It was only a matter of time before that fact came back to haunt you, after all, you may be the most terrifying of them all. With a hunger so insatiable it drives you into a deep pit of madness and forces you to do unspeakable things, you were bound to be caught.
What you never expected was to be hunted down by an old group of ghouls you used to associate with and you could have never imagined someone as ruthless as yourself finding a safe haven within the walls of a small coffee shop. With the threat of the Doves eliminating ghouls in almost every ward, you have no choice, but to accept help from a certain one-eyed ghoul.
