A surreal, dimension-hopping horror sequel that blends cosmic dread with personal mystery, following fractured protagonists hunted across time by an unknowable supernatural force.

Taking off immediately where the last one ended, Mike travels across dimensions and time, fleeing from the Tall Man while trying to find the origins of his enemy and what really happened the night that his brother died. Meanwhile, Reggie battles spheres and the undead in a quest to find Mike before the Tall Man can complete his transformation.
