VIGIL is the story of Mitch a lonely young man adrift in a collapsed world. Rejected by every institution, he has turned to performance enhancing drug therapies to bolster his own fragile sense of self.
Trapped on the Archipelago, a lawless expanse abandoned by a crumbling civilisation, he roams in the Ghost Van, attempting to do good in a time when morality has lost its currency.
Unhinged and increasingly delusional thanks to the cocktail of chemicals in his system, Mitch senses salvation in his attempted emancipation of Hardcore, a young woman being trafficked by the vicious Templars biker gang.
But Mitch’s sense of justice is tested when he discovers that Hardcore might not want to be saved, and that the consequences of his misguided chivalry might prove cataclysmic.
VIGIL arrives in November, as part of a pocket-sized split release with the occult domestic horror
nail-biter RENTAL HELL!
