It's rush hour on a cold autumn morning when Jon Hesker takes the bullet that kills him; a punishment for seeing what he shouldn't have. For asking too many questions. But then he wakes up, with smooth new skin over the entry wound in his chest and a hungry black space in his mind. Cut off from his old world, free from fear, Hesker's a new man. But at what cost? On the wrong side of the law, he's a fugitive on the run through a storm-lashed city on the brink of collapse. Hunted by the shadowy organization known only as Control and their strange-eyed killer Wychelo, Hesker's search for answers leads him over the river and into the depths of the old city; a wild gangland enmeshed in a generations-old civil war. His footsteps dogged by death and chaos, Hesker's shadow looms tall ahead of him. Meanwhile, an ancient shadow is stirring - an elemental force of fear and horror, hungry to swallow the world - its freedom close at hand. Hesker just might be unlucky enough to be the tipping point between salvation and damnation.
