In a moment of bleak despair, Joshua Barker decides to take his own life, ending it with a bullet through his head. But nothing ends in Death. Instead, he wakes up in a dead city that seems to consist of decayed factories and crumbled apartment buildings and very little else. There, he encounters the strange Elmer - a man who seems to know a great deal about him and finds that he may have a special calling. Together they set out on a journey through the fallen city, among prostitutes and rotten angels. Trying to find an elusive God.
