Centenarian Isaac Flanagan was content to live out his final days tottering about in a nursing home, feeding birds in the atrium, wandering the halls with his walker. He thought his adventure days were long gone, his dark past far behind him, and he was happy to leave it there. From a traumatic adolescence in Ireland to eldritch horrors in New England, Isaac was ready for a quiet ending to a long, turbulent life.

Until one day, when a face from his past (one who had died before his very eyes) comes back seeking him out, and his quiet candlelit years are suddenly set on fire.

Is Alexsey really on the level, just wanting his old friend back? Or is there an ulterior motive? And what about his jealous lover Tom? Are they secretly scheming against Isaac together? What really lies in the bowels of Alexsey's underground club?

And what about the mysterious face that Isaac has been seeing off and on for decades?

And what on Earth does Walter Weil have to do with it all?
