G. Alan Benet neither wanted nor expected to save anyone's life. He was too busy running through and away from his own life to bother with someone else's. But when he found himself looking up at a screaming man who had either jumped or fallen from a building, he used the one real power he possessed. He Hid the man in a dark Gap between universes outside of time, a place that would either save or kill him. The man lived, and Alan was soon part of the group of extraordinary people trying to stop a creature of limitless power from the Gap that threatened to destroy humanity. Alan wondered how many of them would have to die to stop it, and if one of the dead would be him.
