   Summary

   Two strangers wake up in impossible places. A garden. A train station. Endless hallways that shouldn't exist.

   They don't know each other's names. They don't know where they are. They only know that no matter how strange the place, they keep finding each other.

   Outside the Backrooms, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are NHL rivals who can't stand one another.

   This is a story about two people slowly becoming the only place where neither of them has to pretend. And everything that happens in the space between.
