To catch evil, it takes evil.  Enter Devyl Bane–an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World.  A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn–an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world.  Those powers have been imprisoned for eons behind gates that are beginning to buckle.  At Thorn’s behest, Bane takes command of a crew of Deadmen and, together, they, are humanity’s last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their hell realms.
