## Description
Maxwell Harrison's life has been spectacularly mundane ever since he graduated two years ago. He's a bartender in the tiny vacation town of Hilltop, where nothing exciting ever happens. He spends his time off loitering around town and sometimes even listening to his radio. It's calm. He tells himself he prefers it that way.

But then, a cave is discovered on the edge of town. And people start disappearing.

Max's life is about to become a lot less mundane.

Whether he likes it or not.
