As terrorism once again threatens to engulf the nation in destruction, two unlikely friends suddenly find themselves on a collision course with the forces of darkness and evil. TJ Sullivan-a fifteen year old high school freshman-feels compelled to help his new friend, Brandon Johnson, battle the demons that haunt him. But as he learns more about Brandon's past-and uncovers the horrors Brandon has experienced in his short life-TJ finds their struggle is against something far more sinister and dangerous than mere flesh and blood. When all hope seems lost-and darkness descends upon the small town of Smithfield, Georgia-will TJ be able to help Brandon find redemption...before it's too late?
