Edwin Traze is a lonely, socially awkward dockworker in his early twenties. Orphaned twice by tragedy, he is an exhausted and solitary man. At night, he goes home from work, showers, and goes to bed. This night was like every other, except for how it ended. He is woken to the presence of frightening creatures who whisk him away to a strange place inhabited by werewolves, vampires, genetic experiments, and ghosts, called Shadow Cliff. Once there, everyone tells him he's dead. This is where Edwin Traze's life begins.
