A monstrous explosion devastates an American city: thousands dead, innumerable injured.

Within the chaos, Alma awaitsÂ…

A child born with extraordinary psychic power, Alma was once the center of an advanced weapons research program. The program was designed to breed psychic commanders who could telepathically control an army of bioengineered soldiers. Despite her potential, her power proved uncontrollable – with deadly results. The program was closed and buried.

Some cruelty cannot remain hidden. Freed from the program’s containment facility, Alma stalks a shattered city. Her motives are unknown.

Sent by the government, you must seek out the answers to the unfolding catastrophe. As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Alma’s suffering has just become yours.

Sometimes, ignorance is blissÂ… but not this time.
