Life after his deployment with Army Special Forces was rough for Alex. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter, and she was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl's fourth birthday party, he observed that the wall he'd been obsessing over in his basement was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. Behind that was another just like the first, and he still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway. Next to it, held up by a knife, was a note with a warning which he didn't heed. He is transported to a future unlike anything we've imagined, and Alex's fight to get back home becomes an epic struggle.
