Someone is pulling at the puppet strings of reality. They yank and jerk -- thrusting a woman to confront her fears by becoming them. Trapping a veteran in a prison invisible only to him. Chasing a mad genius into his grave. Creating the incomprehensible.

Someone is conspiring against the metaphysics of our world. And the question is not who, why, or even how. The question is what forces are, in fact, counter-plotting against them -- deceiving the deceivers -- to the ultimate undoing of us all.

Trust nothing.

Believe no one.

Accept no body.
