Sometime in the near future, the United States is in its seventh year of an economic crisis and has lost its standing as the leading economic power in the world. Its people are working harder and longer hours to buy the basics to live. Despite this, Fernando "Nando" Mares has done well, finally getting his life together after managing through a difficult childhood. He has a good job with a large corporation, a beautiful fiancée, and enough currency credits to live in the better area of McAllen, Texas. Yet, why is he bothered by frequent nightmares? His life quickly takes a turn for the worse, and he is faced with a primordial evil focused on destroying his life. From the high rise buildings of a future McAllen and along the trails surrounding Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, to the majesty of Real De Catorce, Nando battles his way to uncover the source of his suffering as he discovers the depths of his special gifts. Join Nando on his journey of self-discovery and the secret behind his unique abilities.
