[edit] Plot
Set in a nightmarish vision of the past where deadly monstrosities called “darklings” roam the shadows of 1930's Prohibition Era America, Al Stone is a bootlegger who finds himself on the run when he inadvertently stumbles upon the bloody secret of the creatures’ survival. However, Al is blind to the existence of such beings, as Nathan explains:"What people say and what he hears can be two different things." As the beasts close in to take back what’s theirs, Al and his young ward, Nathan, must make their final stand.
