THERE IS A SHADOW THAT SEEKS TO BATTER THE WORLD INTO NOTHINGNESS. IT IS OUR TASK AS MARTINIERES TO KEEP IT AT BAY.

Etienne Martiniere

As Gabriel Martiniere and his wife Ruby struggle to recover from the catastrophic events that almost destroyed them and catapulted Gabe into the leadership of the Martiniere Family and the Martiniere Group, the warning from his ancestor Etienne given two centuries earlier continues to haunt him. What is that shadow? Why are he and Ruby so important for the survival of the multiverse?

Meanwhile, Ruby deals with the issues caused by his dead cousin Joey's daughters, conceived under the auspices of a dangerous and elusive religious cult. While one of the mothers is friendly to the Martinieres, the other mother, Britney, still worships Joey. Britney's claims to interact with Joey after his death worry Ruby. Britney thinks she and Joey will attain some sort of mystical power.
