Caleb

Caleb Lambert used to love the once charming little town of Noodle, Indiana. Now, the only thing he loves is the idea of leaving . . . with Noodle in flames behind him.

Caleb has been a prisoner in Noodle since his most recent visit, the powers that be keeping him as their puppet for both financial and sinister gains.

Death might just be his only way out.

Many deaths, in fact. None of them Caleb's own . . . he hopes.

But it will be anything but a cakewalk. Caleb is scheduled to do The Clinic again-one of many underground "events" run by those powers that be, and the one that just so happens to have the lowest survival rate.

Especially for the likes of Caleb.

Why? The Clinic is an advanced event whose technology is able to tap into one's greatest traumas. And Caleb has more than his share of those.

Caleb's last stay at The Clinic nearly killed him, and the forecast for his next visit appears even bleaker.

He will need all the help he can get to survive, and to perhaps finally see Noodle and those evil powers that be burn. And that help will come in many shapes and sizes, some friendly, some not so much. But if the "not so much" share a common enemy with Caleb . . . ?

"Antiheroes" was never a more appropriate term.

Things will come to a definitive end this time. One way or the other.
