Walker Madison was born into the Bahutha, a cult that worships the dormant Old God Atar and practices demonic magic. The current Watchman- Atar's corporeal husk- is dying, and Walker's unborn baby is chosen to replace it. When the birth of this corrupted child results in the death of his wife, Walker takes it personally. Initially on a mindless rampage to rescue his daughter from her accursed fate, Walker is approached by a shady figure named Coyote, who offers an alternate solution: kill Atar.
Coyote's plan is to acquire three legendary eyes of the Old Gods, which contain potentially apocalyptic levels of power when combined. The demonic blood within Walker would allow him to channel that power and banish Atar into the ethereal plane. Walker and Coyote decide to work together towards this goal, and so begins the demented road trip that is Dead in Desert Bleak.
As it turns out, the evil presence of Atar and his cult are the least of Walker or Coyote's problems, and their personal dramas often come to the forefront during their god-killing quest.
The setting of Dead in Desert Bleak is that of the real world, aside from the obscure presence of demons. A demon is comprised from the leftover souls of mortals which linger in higher dimensions upon death.
