It is the deepest coal mine ever created. But when the miners dig too far, they violate the earth's most ancient and closely guarded secret. Now blood flows from faucets, and huge thorns tear the ground apart. Now grotesque, half-seen creatures terrorize the town, as the stench of sulfur fills the air. Now the legions of Hell itself raise their unspeakable dominion over heaven and earth from the abyss.
