A man walks the streets of Frampton. Some people see him, though most don't. He's just the street sweeper...but he's a preacher, too, and he's preaching death. People are dying to feed the dark apostle's faithful. The townspeople and outsiders alike find themselves fighting for life against those who would do them harm in the name of the street sweeper's dark god. Warren Johns, the last of a dying breed, stands against evil in all it's forms. He may be the only one who can stop the Hangman and his apostle and he's already too late. Stuck in the middle of a battle to save the townsfolk's souls are a woman and a young boy, and they need to be anywhere else but in the way when the Hangman breaks free from Hell...
