Deep in the jungles of Colombia, an American priest is shot dead in his makeshift church. A few weeks later an Indian shaman arrives in South Florida, armed only with a bag of totems and the fearsome power of his vengeful god. As a Miami Homicide Detective, Jimmy Paz saw terrible things that defied rationality. Now retired, he's put the darkness behind him. But suddenly he, his wife, and their young daughter are being haunted by horrific dreams - terrifying visions of a giant jungle cat. And when affluent Miami businessmen begin dying gruesomely in their fortress - like homes - with the footprints of a massive animal found at the crime scenes - the baffled police must turn to Paz, who has experience with the impossible. Paz cannot refuse, for he's tied to this case by a shocking secret from his past. And what he loves most may be the next thing devoured in this nightmare of carnage and sacrifice.
