The duo is quickly thrust into a high-stakes mission when a mysterious gateway to Hell begins to crack open in the mining town of Red Creek.

The journey leads to a climactic showdown at the gateway, where Roy must embrace his role as a supernatural protector to save the world from an eternal night. I.P.D. officers use?
