Now the only things between Sam and losing everything-including his life-are a fast car and a laconic Driver. They have a long road ahead of them, an unbreakable deadline to meet, and a small army of mercenaries who will risk anything to stop them. For Sam, it's the ride of his life. For the Driver, it's just another day on the job."

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"There are places in this world where the fabric of reality has worn thin, where creatures from other realms and bizarre beings from other dimensions slip through, horrible in their difference striking terror into the hearts of those unfortunate few who glimpse them and threatening to drive them mad! There is an organization hidden from this world which has taken upon itself the responsibility to confront these creatures, one whose agents are adept at turning them back from whence they came and repairing the rips and tears in our reality. The organization is called BEDLAM. The agents are called...The PERHAPANAUTS. It's Bigfoot, ghosts, aliens, faeries, and chupacabras ... and they're on OUR side!"

"A tragedy greater than anything the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense has ever seen drives one agent to resign, and leaves the others shaken, haunted, and angry.

They decide to send Northern a message-one that takes the stakes of his hunt to a deadly new level."
