Synopsis
1939. England stands at the brink of war.

Following a trail of blackmail, murder and suicide, Wesley Dodds - the mysterious crime fighter known only as the Sandman - travels from New York to London and discovers a circle of socialites obsessed with the occult.

His dangerous quest takes him on a mission in the rough East End to a strange party at the Sussex manor house that is home to the Order of Ancient Mysteries.

Deep in the sprawling guts of "Fawney Rig", the Sandman uncovers black schemes, hidden identities and the mystic sphere that imprisons Dream of Endless.
