Dean Burrows, famed author and alcoholic/drug addict, has always run from his problems, including horrors that have pursued him since his childhood. After a car accident, Dean is forced into rehab where he must learn who he is and what that has to do with the DarKesT, a realm that for all intents and purposes is a man's personal Hell. A Hell he created with his imagination. Not only must he face his fears, his horrors, and himself, but also his own creations. Only then will he truly understand what The DarKesT is.
