America's foundation is crumbling, and life is no longer recognizable. A dismal existence is all that's left. Plagued with lifelessness and disease, the world is deteriorating fast. Gabriel Jones is caught in the middle. Just your average Joe, trying to find his place in this hopeless society, Gabriel is on the verge of knowing. Knowing the truth, and uncovering reality in a world that no longer makes any sense, where nothing is certain, not even our existence. People are no longer in control of their own lives, but rather mindless pawns in the game of high-level, institutionalized deception with ulterior motives and global consequences. Knowledge and bounty have been replaced with darkness and drought as only a chosen few roam in search of a key to restore light and order to things. Gabriel makes a rapid descent into this world of illusion, blind allegiance, and mind-numbing exercises in futility that leave him questioning his sanity. He's unable to understand the things going on around him, passing from life to death, then back again. But the question remains, can Gabriel do anything about it?
