The Darien Gap. A 10000 square mile rain forest between Colombia and Panama. The most unexplored and dangerous jungle on Earth. Each year thousands risk their lives in a hellish trek northwards through the Gap for a chance at something better.. They face unrelenting heat humidity venomous animals and insects poisonous plants starvation thirst disease. The most dangerous creatures are the ones the travelers hire to guide them through this primeval place.. Migrants are routinely robbed raped murdered or simply lured down ghost trails and left to die. Terror and death are a constant companion..

The violence escalates with each passing day erupting in a shocking act of brutality. And the worst was yet to come.. Awakening from a horrific vision of ancient rituals and malevolent gods they find themselves in a dreamworld of eldritch gods old ones from the depths of space and time itself. With four dead at dawn in the shadow of a malformed and alien edifice beyond reason the group sets out to find their way back.. Over the course of the next four days each of them discover that some paths are better left untraveled. That a new life can take on many forms. And that some gaps were never meant to be crossed.
