Boyd Knight, an elite Force Recon Marine, makes the ultimate sacrifice for his team, only to awaken in a terrifying new world. Instead of death, he finds himself naked in a monster-filled cave, chosen by a mysterious deity of justice to become a 'Vigil'.

Boyd is a man forged in the crucible of military service, defined by his unwavering loyalty, courage, and a deep-seated desire to protect the innocent, even at personal cost.
