Vega City. All things embrace offerings of dissimilar heritages to form a hybrid harmony. Then there’s the colors. Bright. Beautiful. Capra meets Kurosawa. But, underneath it all... Officer Rom Novo is a fresh robbery/homicide transfer. Night shift. No coincidence. No accident. Unless, you count the on-the-job incident, one week prior, that took his life. He’s here in pursuit of a vision quest that has taken over his mind with memories that are not his own. To understand the deep love he feels for a woman he has never met... in a town he’s never been to. The first big clue comes as he investigates his first case -- a one car fatality crash that slowly reveals itself to be more like a ‘murder for hire’ than a random occurrence. The victim, Professor Syl, has left a particular trail of breadcrumbs for Rom to follow that will ultimately lead him to his destiny of becoming -- GRAVEWALKER. But first, he must figure out a way to stop a prophesied war he has uncovered. One that will kill every human on earth in an unsuspecting slaughter-battle being waged by Akah --- A soul-courier on a mission to permanently free his “flock”. MAIN CHARACTERS:
