He refused to have his face covered and, from the gallows, swore he would rise on the flames of hell to have his vengeance. It's a scorching July afternoon, and police officer Mike Havlicek is called to an incident near the statue in Jacobi Park. He's expecting to find a couple of kids fighting, but the park's groundskeeper is insane for no apparent reason, and ambulance med techs are holding him down. Mike unravels the mystery and finds himself steeped in the paranormal. Major Harlen Jacobi, the man in the statue, is about to escape from his place on the granite pedestal to unleash hell on the city of Cedar Creek, and Mike is the only person who can stop him.
