When the lights go out, humanity’s last defense isn’t the military—it’s what’s been hiding in the woods.

In the year 2036, the world runs on code, networks, and convenience—until it all stops. A global electromagnetic pulse wipes the planet clean of every modern technology overnight. Cars die on highways. Planes fall from the sky. Cities go dark.

Alex Mercer, a burned-out IT engineer in rural Washington, watches as everything he once fixed—and every system he trusted—collapses. Alongside Sheriff Emily Ward, scientist Nina Rivera, and a teenage drifter named Milo, Alex must fight to survive as civilization crumbles. But when something not human starts stalking the survivors, it becomes clear: the blackout wasn’t a disaster. It was an invasion.

The aliens are stronger. Faster. Smarter.
And the last thing humanity expected is that its oldest legend would become its fiercest ally.


Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, myth walks again.
Now the war for Earth isn’t between man and machine—it’s between the monsters we fear and the monsters that fear us.
