Synopsis

In the nineties, six teenagers vanished into a tabletop fantasy role-playing game. Only five returned, and none of them ever spoke of what happened. Nearly thirty years later, those five survivors — now adults carrying the damage of that summer in different ways — are dragged back into the game, discovering that it was never finished with them.

Collecting the first five issues of the series, this volume is a dark, self-aware fantasy about the wounds people carry out of the games — and stories — they escaped into as teenagers, and what it costs to be forced back into them as adults.
