Mike Spears drifts across forgotten towns and backroads of the American West with his gun and his code. When storms roll in from "Sometimes Places" where world boundaries grow thin, monsters cross over. Spears makes sure they never return. A girl vanishes, one most people would dismiss as worthless. But Spears sees someone's daughter and refuses to abandon her. The search leads him to a dying town, a masked killer, and an impossible door. Beyond that threshold lies a twisted empire built on blood sacrifice and ancient gods that hunger for more. Spears must enter this realm of darkness to save the girl, facing enemies that exist beyond any map. In a hidden war between worlds, he stands as the last line of defense against creatures that would devour everything he protects.
