The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city's trash, and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets, become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn, an otherworldly building that is alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town, throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake.

Lemire set out to create an intelligent horror story, not one driven by gore, but by exploring the nature of evil.

Lemire and Sorrentino will serve as executive producers alongside Jason Brown, Sean Daniel, Kathy Lingg, and Dinesh Shamdasani.

[40] In October 2019, James Wan, along with his Atomic Monster partner Michael Clear, has joined as executive producer.

Lemire has assured readers that despite television development, the comic will remain his primary focus.
