The doctors said it was cancer, but Tricia knew the thing inside her was something far worse.

Tricia Everhart is diagnosed with uterine cancer, but despite her test results, she can’t escape the feeling that she’s not sick–she’s pregnant. When a mysterious door appears in the hospital, she steps through and finds herself trapped in a nightmarish facility called the Red Tower. There, a cult of sinister physicians known as the Lineage worship a foul entity called the Face of Pain… and they believe Tricia is its chosen vessel. Her husband, Aaron, follows her into the Tower, desperate to bring her home. But the deeper they go, the more they encounter horrors beyond comprehension. Will they escape the Red Tower before the Face of Pain enters our reality? Or will its birth unravel existence itself?
