When Thomas Hunter is chased, he narrowly escapes to a building’s roof. Until a silent bullet finds its way into his head, and his world goes black. In the blackness, he sees another reality. He witnesses a world where he is in love with a woman, where evil is contained, and a world that can’t be real. Then he reaches to touch his head, and he remembers the chase. But it’s just the beginning. He falls into a deep slumber in one world and wakes up in some other world. Yet, neither is safe as they are both fighting their own demons and disasters. However, they do share one thing- the fate of these two entirely different worlds hangs on him and his choices.

Rom, a young man, discovers a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life, and the message, when decoded, will lead him to a journey that will need a greater sacrifice.
