But one fateful day after one particularly late night in the burgeoning city of Las Vegas, Darren makes a huge mistake.

And when the dust settles after a remarkably powerful nearby detonation, the man looking back at Darren Murphy in the model house's mirror might not be the one who stood there before the blast...
