Through the haunted ruins of the Second World War, Joseph Whitehead dared to challenge the dark champion of the ultimate game of life. Having acquired unimaginable wealth, Whitehead lives as a prisoner in his terror-ridden fortress, condemned to pay an unthinkable price. No soul will escape the devastating horror, the resurrected wrath, the unspeakable debts of the "Cursed Game".
