  • Thirty years ago a government experiment went horribly wrong, leaving one scientist dead and several injured. Project Hermes should have signaled a triumph of humanity - the discovery of true quantum teleportation. Instead it was deemed a failure, cancelled, and covered up. Forgotten by everyone - everyone except Graham Butcher. After devoting his life to the completion of Project Hermes the reclusive physicist is now dying, penniless and bitter. But not before the Project is completed. Tonight, Butcher has invited six people to his home, each with a different connection to his failed trial. Together they will ignite a new age, rising from the ashes of a past they all would rather forget. A man's dream will become reality, while an ancient evil will be rustled from a centuries old slumber.
