05. Journey's End Motel

A creature of the week series featuring a group of horror enthusiasts “The Ghoul Gang” investigating strange happenings in the town of River’s End.River’s End, once a bustling center of industry, is now a sleepy post-industrial retirement community whose best days seem regulated to the past with multiple boarded storefronts on Main Street and the last manufacturing plant STEELAM (once a cornerstone) set to layoff half its remaining workers. The only substantial employer left is ONECORP a biotech and pharmaceutical giant with links to both the town’s founders: the Langston Family, and the military. OneCorp’s lab, research and manufacturing facility looms on the north side of Lethe River jutting out of Weir Forest, frankensteined onto the site of the old observatory. It is here that the brilliant but haunted Dr. Lee Hux tests a unique antipsychotic "EtherX" using a VR mask called “A REBOURS” (“Against Nature”) on a man known only as The Subject.
