Their nomadic lives led as mercenary handymen --traveling theUS in a patchy 1938 Ocean Blue LaSalle sedan outfitted with an AllisonLiberator engine and the remnants of useful armor plating --have foundtheir way through a partially sealed aqueduct discovered during asupernatural storm.

Moments after their unorthodox arrival,they wander out from the decaying tunnel and discover a lost yet grandmetropolitan island set out to sea, one haunted by the remains ofhumans fused to buildings and set free to feed; ravens who see thesenewly arrived combatants' activities and seemingly both help and hindertheir progress; villains who defy the laws of both mortality andphysics; and a mysterious woman who literally has the curse of deathembalmed in her fingertips, never knowing the touch of human contactwhile carrying with her the most beautiful desires ever known to life.All are among the denizens of Static City, unwilling fallout from `TheAccident' --an event upon the island of measured unfolding origin thatchanged all they knew forever.
