A youth appears in the Lodi district of the City - apparently out of nowhere and with no explanation - and without any background information, the youth is relegated and assigned to the Lochmoor Psychiatric Ward of Huddlestone prison. After years of incarceration, this now-adult "Wax-man" is released upon the terms of the New Memorial Day - which has secretly been orchestrated by a man known as the Recruiter. This mystery man seems to have Waxxy's best interests in mind... but how far can One really trust a man who hides behind a Mask? The Event surrounding Waxxy's arrest causes a sudden and inexplicable release of energy throughout the material world - it subsequently reveals gates which had been previously hidden in plain sight. These Gates are the doorways by which Others begin to infiltrate the City - and the Lodi Ward, in particular - and with the arrival of a number of Strangers comes the onset of strange occurrences inherent to the mere existences of these phenomena.
