Welcome To Detroit

As the story unfolds Jane cannot distinguish reality from nightmare. On October 13, 2006 Jane awakes in a mental hospital, her hands and feet strapped to a table surrounded by the whites walls of question. Jane is convinced she has recently been abducted and psychologically abused by what seems to be the ultimate madman. She soon befriends a cast of characters employed by the Oregon State Hospital building a vengeful alliance from tales of her horrific experience in the hands of her captor. After counseling and rehabilitation Jane soon returns to the place where her worst fears and nightmares came true…Detroit, Oregon. Upon returning to face those fears and find out what continues to plague her, Jane begins to unravel a twisted tale of lies, paranoia, vigilanteism and pure dementia.
