As a prison guard, there is no normal day. Sergeant Aaron Washington knows this all too well. Riots and rivalries, there's always something to prepare for. But on a seemingly "typical" day, one in which Washington picks up his coffee and drives to work, just like he always does, something just seems off...
Inmate Michael Hall is a good guy, trusted by prisoners and prison guards alike. He went from a young kid trying to show his worth through gang life to a natural leader behind bars. And today, he's pardoned. Free to go. But why now? Nobody leaves here like that...
Nobody ever leaves here.
Maybe a place that feels like a prison, and looks like a prison, is actually a whole lot more than a prison. There are the disappearing bodies, the missing people. Strange stomach illnesses. Acts that can only be described as, well, not exactly human...
The room goes dark, with a small sliver of light illuminating the red eyed shadow known as the Grand Lucifer...
The war has begun.
As Aaron Washington, Michael Hall, and a select few guards discover, sometimes there's no beating fate. There's no way to know the war you'll be chosen to fight, or the path you'll be forced to go down.
There's only courage and the will to embrace destiny.
