When Charles' beloved Voodou is threatened with extinction, he must wager his life between pure evil and the man who could destroy the world.
Charles' psychiatrist, Sanantha Mauwad, steps into this maelstrom of nightmares, violence and insanity to help Charles find his strength. She tries to save Charles' mind, but can she save his soul?
