A dark supernatural thriller that weaves religious mythology with serial-killer procedural, trapping a detective in an escalating game against an evil force that defies conventional logic.

Homicide detective John Hobbes witnesses the execution of serial killer Edgar Reese. Soon after the execution the killings start again, and they are very similar to Reese's style.
