They had a plan to paint the town psychedelic with tickets scored for a new VIP club in the city. Party prescriptions filled, Theo, Daz, and Jimmy hit the town with energy to burn. Little did they know this would be a much longer trip than any they had experienced before, and Theo now finds himself stumbling from the rabbit hole and into a hidden world of magic and monsters. Thrust into the frontlines of a longstanding conflict between a rabid blood cult and a shadow military organisation, Theo must adapt to a new way of life. Join him as he develops the skills needed to not only survive the brewing war, but also the hidden threats that permeate the secret society itself.
