If Science proved how the Universe created itself, what would be
your reaction? It is the turn of the century post World War III and
Detective Mac Dreggar is trying to solve missing person cases
amidst religious upheaval in the backdrop of physics proving how
the Universe created itself. Desperate dying clergymen form a group
called the True Order and discover a method of preserving their
finite existences through a sordid practice known as the Ritual of
the Scraping. A terrifying, but humorous religious satire is
created to show the absurd lengths some people might go to in an
effort to preserve their lives knowing their time is limited in the
absence of an afterlife. Adolescent Mac Dreggar dreams of becoming
a preacher. He is said to have a calling, and his faith gives him
strength in hardship growing up in desolate war-torn Denver, the
old capital of Colorado, now colloquially called "Old Town." The
dazzling 1500 square mile metropolis of Ovestoll seated in the
Rocky Mountains marks the new capital and is colloquially called
"the Ove." These mark two different worlds for Mac as we follow his
journey from adolescence into adulthood, a time when Mac brutally
loses everything that is close to him: his family; his friends; his
church; his home, and his faith in God. We see Mac transform from
devout theist to self-reliant atheist, and from innocent aspiring
preacher to hardened Detective Mac Dreggar Homicide Division of
Ovestoll.
