Thirty years ago, the world as we knew it changed.
At CERN, in Switzerland, the largest Hadron Collider in the world, accelerating particles to as close to light-speed as humans could manage, an experiment went wrong, weakening the fabric of our reality, creating a bridge between worlds, between universes.
The scientists called it a Wormhole, but everyone else named it the RIFT.
And they came through in their thousands. All the creatures of our myths and legends, of our nightmares and fears.
We tried to stand against them. We were desperate. We lost.
Now just a few enclaves hold out against the hordes and on the South Coast of England, a rag-tag group of mercenaries work for whomever will pay them, taking on jobs no one else would be stupid enough to attempt.
An ex-soldier about to be reminded what duty means, a sniper with a hidden past, an engineer who can fix anything, and a young magician who has no idea what the future holds.
