1966, United States of America: Kennedy is unable to prevent the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962, creating a nuclear winter throughout the country that seems to have no end. Our nations structure collapses, our nations defenses fall and our nations people suffer from severe radiation poisoning, mutating them into ghoulish, flesh eating monsters. Tracey Arnold, the man with no direction, struggling to accept his actions and live with himself, travels through this barren wasteland at a constant battle with his humanity, and the Stray that refuses to let him forget.

Gwendolyn Creed was a God-fearing woman until she met B.A. Catch and his fantastic abilities. A legendary and reclusive artist, Catch could manifest ectoplasm from the palms of his hands - and steal your soul in the process. Sculpting faces out of soul-matter, Catch opens doorways into alternate dimensions where pain and pleasure combine. People are beaten, stabbed and crucified. The body is altered, the skin diseased and in need of new host to survive - but can love win out?
