Newlyweds Kyle and Mandy arrive in the quiet town of Esperville, Oregon, ready to build and sell homes, imagining a bright future together. But Esperville hides a dark secret: the land itself seems to swallow its residents whole. Vanished without a trace. At first, Kyle dismisses the town's disturbing history as local superstition-until a close friend is savagely attacked by a nightmarish creature, and Mandy disappears that same night.
Desperate to find her, Kyle teams up with Sam Oswell, a grieving potter haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his own son. Together, they uncover a doorway to "the Alt"-an eerie, alternate dimension where a breaking time loop, traps its inhabitants in a twisted version of 1950s Las Vegas replete with creatures, monsters and evolving lifeforms. This world teems with strange life forms, and reality itself is breaking down.
Worse, it is a two-way door, and Kyle soon realizes that the reality of the Alt has already bled into small and quaint Esperville with deadly results.
To rescue Mandy, Kyle must face mind-bending dangers in both dimensions, confronting a ruthless army officer intent on preserving the Alt's deadly cycle. Time is running out, and as the boundaries between worlds crumble, Kyle must risk everything-not only his life, but the fragile balance of reality itself
