A spate of unexplained fires spreads across Los Angeles, killing indiscriminately, tearing up the city, destroying people's faith.

Jim Rook, newly returned from a disastrous sojourn in Washington DC, is called upon to assist with the LAPD's investigation. The police hope that Rook, a special needs teacher with the rare ability to see demons and spirits, can look past the facts of each case and come up with some answers.

Could this really be the link he's looking for? Or will it only lead him
