Homicide Detective William Zhu has just made the arrest of his career. With the apprehension of Richard Pickman, he has solved over 100 missing child cases, some of which date back over 30 years. The excavation of Pickman's basement reveals horrors beyond imagination... the bodies of children mutilated in bizarre satanic rites. Frustrated with his role of clean-up man to the detritus of the world, Zhu makes what may be a fatal mistake: He decides to kill Pickman. Fatal, for Richard Pickman is no ordinary psychopath. The rituals he performed were not the work of a madman, but sacrifices made to a very real demon. A demon who has granted Pickman near immortality. Killing Pickman is going to be a lot tougher than Zhu could have imagined. It may not even be possible!
