Most of us come into this world with an inborn need for
religion, a higher power to believe in. However, when fear and misunderstanding
are the driving forces behind that desire, the result is rarely a good thing.

Eight years ago, Laura Bradford mysteriously disappeared off
campus, causing quite a disturbance in the lives of Kenny Elliot and Gerald
Reynolds, a journalism student with a fascination for Mesoamerican artifacts.
When Gerald calls unexpectedly to tell Elliot he’s recently seen Laura then
sets up a meeting only to be a no-show, Elliot tracks him down to get some
answers. Instead he finds his old friend murdered in a ritualistic fashion.

Elliot takes a leave of absence from his job as a Tulsa
police detective and launches an unofficial investigation, which leads him into
the world of an Aztec deity with an appetite for blood.
