6Teenager Alex O'Connor had no complaints about his typical life. Alex was a stellar student in school, had a good friend Micheal Barnes that made his life adventurous, and had adoptive parents that were indifferent toward him. He was okay with all that. He was going to leave his small town eventually. He just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

One afternoon, after a wrong turn in the forest, Alex and Micheal find themselves in a new realm. At first, the world was magical, the best kind. But it is not as enchanting as they expected. There is evil lurking in the shadows of the new realm. Alex and Micheal, with their guides, must travel to the accursed Inferno Realm of the Shadow King to return home.

Confronted with threats to their mortality and the truths of their pasts, they must fight their physical adversaries along with their inner demons. Alex and Micheal must rely on their new acquaintances to not lead them astray. But when things go awry, Alex must uncover the deepest secrets of the realm.

Danger will follow them everywhere. Trust will be earned. Friendships will be created. Treachery will be committed. Alex will have to learn a valuable lesson...be careful of what you believe in.
