Chaos entered into our realm with the mystical energies, until the United Nations sanctioned its participants to assemble units of special men and women to combat these violent situations. These units, collectively called Dark Stalkers held the chaos at bay. These new beings, witches, lycanthropes, vampires and the like, now in our world, were identified and allowed to live among us secretly providing they live in peace. In modern times the governments was forced to pass a secret bill to have them licensed and regulated because some would use their strange abilities for death and destruction.

Now, in the turn of the century, evil has moved its focus to a town in Pennsylvania called Reading, looking for a demon of great power. This demon holds knowledge that could plunge our entire existence into a hellish nightmare causing the human race to live as cattle or fodder to the ruling denizens.

Also in Reading, Pennsylvania is a special man. This man, Maximus Jordan has no idea who or what he is but he alone is the key that will save our world or plunge it into an eternal hell. His only guide to learning how to save our world is a mysterious man that tried to kill him. Max moved away to escape the death of his family and a broken relationship but the sequence of events begin on his Return.
