When a mysterious woman hires Sam Truman to find both her brother and a family heirloom known as The Pale Man, Sam is grateful for the money. So grateful, in fact, that he’s willing to enter The Phillips-Rogers Project, a tenement known for its hellish conditions and abundant crime, in order to find them. What he finds inside The PR, however, is something horrible and not of this world. Nightmares wait inside The Phillips-Rogers Project, and The Pale Man holds the key.
