Hell is rising in San Francisco…

Former Navy SEAL Feroz “Roz” Mehran has already been through hell. Disgraced, broken, and living on the streets, he clings to one final mission: proving he can still be a father to his 11-year-old daughter. When a billionaire philanthropist dies under suspicious circumstances, Roz receives a cryptic invitation to compete in a high-stakes succession contest. He’s ready to walk away—until a devastating custody ruling threatens to sever the bond with his daughter for good.

Now, the contest is no longer a curiosity—it’s his last shot at redemption.

Contestants must ascend through an aging Art Deco skyscraper, mirroring the journey of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. Nine levels. The prize: stewardship of the mysterious Plek Foundation, and its world-changing technology.

Joined by an unlikely few–a former teammate with an out of control mustache, an ex-diplomat haunted by a tragic past, and a retired military working dog–Roz battles through circle after circle of engineered hell.

What begins as an eccentric succession process soon turns deadly. A shadowy defense company led by Roz’s former lover and commanding officer hijacks the contest, and she will stop at nothing to claim the foundation’s research into human perception. Traps and predatory drones haunt the darkness. Fellow contestants begin dying.

Each level tests more than combat skills. Roz must summon grit, ingenuity, empathy—and sacrifice. For a warrior who’s lost everything, the trials might just help him become the man his daughter needs him to be. But first, he has to survive all nine circles of hell.

In the Infernal Tower, the only way is through.
