In a post-war future, PETER CAIRN stands as a unique individual, bearing the weight of his past as an ex-soldier and an amputee, becomes a Hellspawn thanks to nanites in his prosthetic legs influenced by AL SIMMONS' necroplasmic detonation causing a ripple effect not only across space but also through time. Labeled a "DEVIANT" by the corporation that created him, Peter confronts his creators as his powers grow, making himself a prime target.

The near future. Politicians invent their own facts, and independent newspapers no longer exist. The very concept of truth has died. In this world, private detectives serve as ronin, searching out the hard truths that people are desperate to keep hidden. The best of these PIs is Satya, a former journalist turned gumshoe who runs every lead to ground.
