- In the snowy landscapes of a Canadian winter, sacred Balinese statues have been desecrated. Professor Rufus Elkin tries to stop the Balinese Gods from retaliating against those responsible for the crime, but he realizes that he is powerless to stop the rampage of death.—Anonymous
- One hundred kilometers north of Toronto, professor RUFUS ELKIN has found his own private haven. Now semi-retired, RUFUS inhabits a small isolated island where he has found peace and harmony. Although a Canadian, professor ELKINS passion is Indonesian ancient history. In university circles he is regarded as the authority on Balinese folklore. When RUFUS ELKIN dies alone of uncertain causes, the local authorities are forced to intrude into his world. Led by officer GORD COOPER, a former Hong Kong narcotics cop, the investigation focuses on the logical and the probable while ignoring the supernatural. This changes when CHARLIZE, the professors granddaughter, returns home from her studies in Bali to give him the burial mandated in his will. Because of her in-depth knowledge of her grandfathers particular area of research, she senses impending danger on the island. Meanwhile in the city at the university where ELKIN taught, DEAN VANBEEK secretly works to cover up a developing scandal that involves the illegal importation of irradiated diamonds into Canada. RUFUS ELKIN had discovered that a shipment of Balinese statues destined for an exhibition in Toronto contained diamonds owned by an Asian smuggling cartel. IBRAM SATTAR a violent and daunting Malaysian, leads this cartel. As GORD COOPERs team of officers continue to fall -some by SATTAR's men and others by the hand of something much more complex and frightening- the cop is forced to enlist the help of CHARLIZE. A battle of good versus evil ensues but it is only CHARLIZE who recognizes there is an entity on the island that should be feared more than SATTAR and his henchmen. In the finale, the balance between good and evil is restored and in the aftermath CHARLIZE must unravel a complex message left by her grandfather: The message hides the island location of two statues that hold a gruesome secret, a secret that impacts the whole existence of the city of Toronto.
