Dirk isn't the chosen one. Not even close. So how did they end up in the middle of a potential apocalypse? 

All Dirk wanted was to escape another argument with their parents and go for a nice quiet coffee. Instead, they've been kidnapped by agents, attacked by mal-realmers and forced to wear a boiler suit that they're pretty sure someone died in. 

When Dirk is taken to Base, a secret underground …well … base, they learn way more than they need to. More about other realms, more about the battle between good and evil, and more about the absolutely terrifying Violent Jack, an evil mal-realmer determined to bring about the end of the world. 

Both sides need the chosen one. But there's not a lot Dirk can do about it, is there? It's not like it's them.  

Unfortunately for Dirk, not everyone knows that.
