Jack Lear is a Pittsburgh firefighter who is finishing a call on the night before Halloween. Then the darkness explodes with a thunderous roar, and his world changes. Hearing a cry of innocence from inside, Jack races into the burning building. There, he is confronted by a dark suit. This mysterious man forces Jack to make a choice that will forever change his path.
In his journey through a long-forgotten past, Jack will rediscover love and wonder. He will hear the song of a man sent to find him. Through many horrors, Jack will play his role in a game started many centuries before, in a time not yet, and always will be, his own.
Across the vastness of space and time, undergoing the paradox of duality, Jack faces and fights, crumbles and cowers, searches and steals the knowledge that will someday, in some distant past, either save or condemn, not just himself, but all those he loves, and the world along with it. The journey must begin.
