William has been around most dirt tracks in the American Southwest. Whether its long-distant endurance races or just a few laps at a local meet, he thrives when he's carving through the dusty soil on his dirt-bike. But what would have been a life of motocross exhilaration took a turn for the bizarre and abyssal when his father came down with a mysterious cancer that had no history or signs beforehand. Using up all his saved clout and earned winnings from the pro-circuit in the attempt to find a cure, he cast his hopes into the ether, desperate to save his father from the disease.

William's plea to the void was not left unheard. Miraculously, his father's cancer disappeared almost over night, with scans showing complete remission. But the relief and celebration were sadly cut short. Not even a month after his recovery, his father was killed in a freak accident at one of William's meets, being crushed by a wayward bike that ran off-course. Now bereft of his last remaining family, William had given up. No longer attending races or responding to friends, he shut himself away, seeking to let it all fade to black. But his journey would not end in lonely seclusion just yet.

The bargain unconsciously sent out into the universe has come back to claim its price. Nightmares plague William every night, with visions of a dark and terrible future. But through the horrid images a flame of justice burns, holding back the tide of shadow and death and beckoning to William. An imprint in his mind compels him to act, to seek the flame and its enemies and to fight not only his own dark fate, but the world's as well. Uncertain as to the truth behind his visions, or what the flame asks of him, William journeys to the locations his visions show him, looking for answers...
