Six men across America wake from the same nightmare. They see a dark tower rising from wasteland. They see blood flowing like a river. Ancient sacred texts have vanished from the world. Without these words, humanity stumbles toward its end. The six strangers feel pulled toward the American desert where something waits. An experiment in evil unfolds on a scale never before attempted. Every human life hangs in the balance as the ultimate sacrifice. The six must find each other before the darkness completes its work. Their shared vision may be humanity's only warning. In the wasteland, forces gather for a battle that will determine whether good or evil claims the future. The six carry this burden whether they understand it or not.
