In this terrifying new horror series from Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Harrow County) and Marika Cresta (Dr. Aphra) readers will follow a group of inmates as they attempt to traverse the flood waters while also avoiding both the very real monsters that are swimming beneath the surface and the proverbial monsters from their lives before incarceration that lurk inside themselves.
