Thomas Hunter is a man living a dual existence in two vastly different realities. In one world, he is locked in a battle against time to prevent the devastating spread of the Raison Strain, a deadly virus that threatens to annihilate humanity unless global powers surrender their nuclear arms. Meanwhile, in a fantastical alternate universe, Thomas leads the Forest Guard against the encroaching menace of the Horde, an enormous army of diseased warriors bent on conquest.

The future of humanity is tied to his ability to decipher cryptic dreams that provide him with crucial insights that could alter the fate of both worlds. If he fails, one world will be consumed by an ancient, malevolent force, plunging it into eternal darkness and obliterating its magical inhabitants. Meanwhile, in the modern world, this collapse will manifest as a series of catastrophic environmental disasters, societal unrest, and the spread of dreams that drive people to madness.
