In the Dark Ages, an evil wizard named Ambolin created another world, a dimension encased in ice. Within this world, Ambolin and his apprentice played gods, slaughtering innocent humans pulled in from Earth. The apprentice, known as The Presence, grew more powerful with each human he killed. The Presence took over the dimension within the ice and continued butchering hundreds of humans. The Presence became such an evil force that he was soon a common enemy to both the angels in heaven and the devils in hell. Now, the angels and the devils wish to join forces. They plan to exterminate The Presence, but only a being of flesh and blood can pass through the ice that encases his dimension. The angels and the devils select a human from earth. Her name is Alison. Alison is to be sent through the ice to assassinate The Presence. From the day the ice formed, encasing this land of torture and bloodshed, The Presence would pull in from Earth six humans every few years. One by one, The Presence would test the limits of each person's sanity and physical endurance. And one by one, each human would die violently. Once dead, the victims' souls remain trapped in the ice. The Presence can then puppet these souls, making them carry out his sadistic plans for the next victim. This time, as the six selected humans pass into the ice, Alison will secretly infiltrate as well. It will be her mission to seek out The Presence. Alison will trek through the chaos of this land, chilled by the screams of the dying and the stench of the long dead. The angels and the devils give Alison only one weapon to battle The Presence. She must make him remember that he was once a mortal man. The Presence must remember that he once walked the Earth, was once afraid of death, and was once able to love. If he remembers, the ice will melt away. Then the angels and the devils may enter the dimension and destroy The Presence. Alison does not know how she will make The Presence remember his origins. She can only hope that when she confronts him, she will find a way to reach into his past before The Presence makes her yet another victim. Tagline: Depravity. Hostility. Insanity. And other acts of God.
