Ironton appears to be a city rising from the flood and political corruption of "The Swamps of Jersey," but then a series of beatings, murders and destruction, including the bookstore owned by Nagler's friend, Leonard, set the city on edge. Then two college women are attacked. They are players in a video game turned real life game called A Game Called Dead. Suddenly the game has real consequences.
In a roller-coaster ride of a story, Nagler must defend his friends and new companions from unknown dangers as #ARMAGEDDON grows bolder.
"Let me tell you the rules of this game," he said. "Keep up." "I can burn a city down."

So declares the Internet poster #ARMAGEDDON. It is up Frank Nagle and his allies to stop him.
