A cosmic entity, the Yahg, invades, annihilating humanity and twisting reality into grotesque horrors. Anthropomorphic animals, like the cunning wolf Cane, rise from the ashes, establishing a new, fragile civilization. Cane's creation, the AI Abel, develops unsettling sentience, questioning existence and the Yahg's insidious influence, which "catalogs" human emotions. As they uncover the Yahg's pervasive control and the horrific remnants of humanity, Cane and his allies, including the sacrificing William, embark on a desperate, perilous journey aboard the "Egress" to escape Earth and defy an incomprehensible, cosmic terror.
