On the trail of his most hated enemy, Jake Moriarity is deep in the Amargosa Desert. He is cut off from the FBI team that inserted him, severely wounded, running on empty and apparently hallucinating, because he just shot Paul Morgan in the head with a 12-gauge and then watched him get up and walk away. Paul Morgan, the man single-handedly responsible for causing Jake's niece Cassie, to become addicted to heroin and then setting her up as his main girl in a Seattle escort service. Paul Morgan, who has now kidnapped Cassie and is threatening to kill her while forcing Jake to watch. Paul Morgan, whose life Jake should have ended when he had the chance, but didn't-a decision that has now come back to haunt him, cruelly. In the Amargosa, life is hard-it's kill or be killed. Only, Paul Morgan refuses to die.

After forty years of serving saints and sinners, a disillusioned Father Jack Mahoney has retired. Now he has time for family and hanging out with his pal, Jake Moriarity in Ocean Beach. But, a random encounter with a dying woman reveals a widening rift between the natural and supernatural worlds that will consume all he loves unless he can cobble together the tattered threads of his faith, summon the ancient power he once embraced, and stand in the gap between the living and the dead.
