In a seedy basement theater in west L.A., Jonathan Gates met the woman who would initiate him into more than one kind of ritual performed in the dark. Sensual, brilliant Clare was to give him a career with stature and unwittingly introduce Gates to a dark form of cinema far from the innocent entertainments he'd known.
At the heart of the darkness Gates will discover a film noir director of tormented genius who vanished while filming the most powerful and disturbing movie of his career. Hidden in the flickering light and shadow of his films are the clues to an ancient and secret conspiracy, with a deadly reach extending to every corner of the world.
