Comme toute sa famille avant lui, Thomas Alsop protège l’île de Manhattan des attaques démoniaques. Mais Thomas doit faire face à une force bien plus infernale, la télé-réalité. C’est ainsi que débute la série Thomas Alsop de Chris Miskiewicz & Palle Schmidt, dont le pitch rappel dans les grandes lignes celui de (Waid/Edwards)The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor que publie actuellement le concurrent Dynamite Entertainement.
