• THE STORY: Hiding in plain sight in a roadside convenience store, the fugitive Dr. Bruce Banner finds himself caught abruptly between a gun-wielding madman, a constricting circle of local police, and dark, predatory forces with motives of their own -- in a contest of straining wills that demands only one grim resolve: The Hulk must become both savior and unbridled demon!
