Overview: Two decades after an apocalypse that wipes out most of human life on Earth, Luca, who knows nothing more than protecting those he cares little about, resides within a small village that seems to be the only bastion of humanity for a hundred miles, and, as the only person who knows how to put up a fight in the town, he goes between menial tasks, smoking away his pent-up past despite the failing health of his heart, and deciding who gets to live or die with nobody but his priest and God to judge him. Though, there is something that sets Luca apart from any other living human through the powers of what is best described as a gift.

This gift, one that can only be given by something that is beyond human, grants him visions of a man's evils whenever he falls asleep and is only one of many clues that may mean Luca is not who he thinks or who he believes he is. So, while God or a creature far more wicked doesn't mind looking the other way whenever someone needs to be put to rest, this ever-watching figure also shields its eyes from everything else that happens in a world where the dead refuse to sleep and where there is more than one mystery Luca is helplessly tied to while he slowly discovers that, within the place he calls home, less humanity exists than he ever could have thought, and, unlike the sick men, murderers, and cult leaders he kills, Luca will have to remember what makes him human when the truth to everything that has happened is revealed to us all.

“If I told you that there was a man around here that is a monster worse than the people who killed our families, would you trust me?” -Luca
