But when controversy sends CROSSJACK crawling back to his mom and dad's basement in the Midwest, Jack struggles to fit into a world he left far behind. And then the bodies start piling up. Now, the small town hero known as "Local Man" must investigate a sprawling conspiracy while navigating former teammates, local law enforcement, interdimensional crossovers, a geriatric dog and the girlfriend who stayed behind.
