Awakening from a living slumber to witness demons ripping the souls from people, Peter Naismith is drawn into an aspect of life unknown to most others. Aiding Peter is the knowledgeable Father Radcliffe who has the uncanny knack of finding deeper applications of the Bible than realized by the laymen who have studied it for the past several hundred years. Peter's discontent - and Father Radcliffe's guiding insight - allows Peter to alter the course of his life and the lives of others with an outcome considered impossible by Homo Sapiens. Confronted by a strange man who knows too much to be trusted, witness as Peter opposes these flying, malevolent and mind-intruding creatures' quests.
