Completely Broken

Dave is a good guy. He’s got a decent job at a record store. He’s in love, though the girl he loves has no idea.

Gilroy is a bad guy. He’s got a decent job at the same record store. He murders people in the name of a demon from a hellish dimension of pure evil.

For these two co-workers, where they come from, what they do, and who they are will collide in a series of events that threatens to leave them both completely broken.
