Hidden in the shadows of Dominic Wolfe's home town of Kansas City, a phantom widow is raking up millions of dollars and leaving a trail of bodies in her wake. Meanwhile, men, women and children have quietly converged by the hundreds on an abandoned oil rig off the gulf coast of Florida.

What's the common denominator?

Pfft. Who gives a crap?

Dominic could think of a million things he'd rather do than play detective—stick his fingers in a fan, for example; break-dance in a pile of broken glass, or perhaps eat tofu—but as usual, the universe has other plans. Deep in the recesses of the divide, you see, something is stirring—a strange portal that has the entire realm on edge.

Still, if Alexis and her little sister Ellie hadn't disappeared, Dominic might've found a way to ignore the whole situation. Under the circumstances, though, he has no choice but to run headlong into a storm of calculated deception—one that might just pit him against the people he cares about the most.
