On November 11, 2032, a catastrophic breach threatens the very existence of the Bureau, a top-secret agency founded in 1959 to classify, house, and protect RIPs and TEARs—supernatural incidents and objects from alternate universes with odd but dangerous powers. Mayhem ensues as news of the rift is broadcast via the Bureau’s Emergency Broadcast System by one Agent Sedaris. As a Bureau-wide lockdown goes into effect, RIPs and TEARs are escaping their enclosures—wreaking havoc, killing agents, and demanding the life of the Bureau director. There’s a mole in the agency responsible for the compromise. But is it Agent Sedaris, the director, or someone else entirely? In an agency where things are disclosed on a “need to know” basis and the full truth is never revealed, it’s hard to know who to trust . . . or believe. Told exclusively through interview transcripts and decades of redacted case files, the true story unfolds in this wildly inventive, tongue-in-cheek commentary on bureaucracy and all the things we never know.
