Fifteen years ago, six college housemates accidentally opened a dimensional threshold, unleashing monsters into their world. Charlie was the only one who dared to touch the portal, gaining the secret language to close it - at a terrible cost. Now Charlie and his estranged friends are worn down by adulthood, battling burnout, divorce, and deep personal demons. When the monsters return, Charlie tries to walk away - until his conscience drags him back. Together, they must confront their past, their losses, and the monsters threatening reality itself. What happens when the saviors of the world are falling apart at the seams?
