It was a typical day in the small, rural town of Ralstan Bay the sun was out, birds were singing, and young Micah Rallinger was walking to school with his slightly unreliable, but loyal best friend Vince. For a while, all seemed peaceful, until something strange caught Micah's eye. Peering over a nearby hill was a figure he couldn't quite make out, so he and Vince decided to investigate. Laying their eyes on a ominous supernatural gate that shouldn't exist, the two begin to panic and consider running back home, when their curiosity gets the best of them and they decide to approach this strange portal.

As they draw near, a harsh force suddenly pushes them through the gateway, catapulting them into an alternate stellar realm inhabited by a mysterious, dark creature; a being of unknown origin and chaotic power. This creature explains that its very existence is in constant struggle, stuck in an eternal state of suffering and death; and desperately needed an escape and was willing to offer knowledge and wealth in exchange for an escape plan. Micah, taken aback and unsure of this peculiar creature, refused its offer.

Little did Micah know his decision to decline the creature's request would start an onslaught of events that would forever change the fate of Ralstan Bay.

With his refusal to help the creature of the unknown begun a terrifying chain of events across the town of Ralstan Bay. Micah and Vince do their best to go on with their lives while also attempting to research the mysterious creature they encountered; however, they are soon met with danger as the consequences of turning down the creature culminate in a series of mysterious disappearances and peculiar happening during the night.

Fearing the worst, Micah and Vince turn to the local library in search of answers, meeting with an old man who has outlived his time and knows more of what is truly happening then anyone else. With few clues from the old man, Micah and Vince take it upon themselves to go out and look for the creature in the dark and eerie woods located outside of town. Finally coming face to face with it, the creature blames Micah for his inability to provide an escape and attempts to force him to agree to a new, more devious proposition. But then a stranger appears, offering a way for Micah to find the truth behind his predicament and the ultimate destiny awaiting him should he end up helping the creature in its plight.

In a desperate bid to save his friends and escape the clutches of the mysterious creature, Micah takes on the stranger's challenge, beginning a fight that will test him beyond his limits. Using almost every resource available to him, Micah must battle time and the strange and deadly forces of the hellish realm his new situation has dragged him into in order to find a way to neutralize the unknown being. So begins an arduous journey that sees him risk his own life and the livelihood of Ralstan Bay as Micah learns more about his unexpected but incredible power and its true potential.

With the timeless forces of darkness closing in and the creature seeking his help dangerously close to achieving his goal, Micah must use every ounce of strength he can muster in order to save both himself and those around him; or face the consequences of endangering Ralstan Bay and the entire world.

After a long and difficult quest, Micah and his friends arrive at the creature’s lair, determined to put an end to its reign. But before they can do so, they face an army of aberrations composed of both humans and creatures of the abyss. In a surprising twist of events, one of Micah’s friends turns on him, now willing to serve the creature in exchange for power. With this unexpected attack, their victory seems far from likely; but in the midst of the battle, a glint of the town’s moonlight shines upon Micah and reveals his ultimate power, allowing him to use the dark creature’s own power against them.

Knowing that death must prevail, and come to terms with his own mortality, Micah uses every bit of strength he has left in order to fight for the lives of everyone around him, including the creature itself. An epic and explosive battle ensues, in which Micah ultimately wins, ending the creature’s tyranny and ensuring hope for the future of Ralstan Bay. With the town finally at peace once again, Micah and his friends take a moment to reflect on the power of true friendship and courage before they each head off, foreshadowing their own futures and further adventures.
