Fleeing a botched robbery in New York City, a junkie, her dying partner, and a dementia-ridden old man pull into a coal mining ghost town in central Pennsylvania.
Obscured by the caustic mists spewed forth by the coal-seam fire from the 1960s–still burning–Trier is the perfect place to lay low, score a fix, and take a hostage... or is it?
Acclaimed crime writer Ollie Masters (Snow Blind, The Kitchen) and artist Pierluigi Minotti (Lost Falls) transport readers into a bleak, violent world.
After Roxanne and Luke found dysfunctional refuge from their flawed families together, it was one messed up sequence of events after another that brought them to Patti’s house, and the town on fire.
But speaking of a messed up past… Patti reveals her connections to the origin of the fire, and it’s not long before a mysterious set of headlights moves through the mist, coming to pay them a visit in Trier…
