When hunters are first awakened to the supernatural, all they know is terror, paranoia and chaos. The unseen world is a nightmare. But the imbued have a dream. They imagine a paradise free from monsters' grip, a world of humanity's own. And they set out to achieve it, even if it means sacrificing everything they - and mankind - hold dear.
Utopia explores ways in which hunters might strive to break monsters' hold over humanity, whether in a neighborhood, a city or across the world. But can such a Utopia be achieved? Can the monsters be defeated or is it just a pipe dream? You decide.
