Someone or something is murdering wealthy developers in the great midwestern city of Chicago. But not just any developer. These are people who care about the environment and displaced or less fortunate people. While they make millions, they spend millions to help others. There are others who despise them for that and see only money as a reward.

A tough Chicago homicide cop close to retirement is assigned the case he never wanted and what he finds is beyond belief. It appears that supernatural forces are working with humans to open the gates of hell and he has to stop it. But how? Local Native Americans, a special Black Ops government team, and a covert Catholic Priest may be the answer. But Chicago is Chicago and the cops aren’t about to trust the feds, or the Indians.

Can the cops overcome their own prejudices and their questioning of faith to work to keep the gates closed?
