But when the last shred of hope is nearly spent, theres one man who will step into that darknessand deal with it.Now a true-crime podcaster is closing in on the truth about Spears and the strange world he navigates. Too close. Shes drawn something demonic through the door between worldsa kill team from another deeply twisted reality. And, if Spears is right, these techno-Aztec operators are only the tip of an apocalyptic invasion set to bathe our land in blood.But first theyll have to get past Spears.
