After a devastating affair with his secretary, Craig Anderson decides to leave the past behind, and salvage his ruined marriage. The Edison family moves to Saldanha Bay, a small town on the West Coast of South Africa after Craig accepted a lucrative job offer. Here they encounter various experiences linked to witchcraft and Satanism. They also discover a battered ruin on a hill just out of town. According to legend, Vikings constructed it when their ship went off course and got smashed against the rocks with no way to return home again.
Craig is drawn back to his past weakness when he is introduced to his boss’s secretary, Pamela Jenson. Craig’s daughter, Emily has vivid dreams about the ruin on the hill where she bears witness to the Vikings burying something of great power. Craig realises something is wrong in town when none of the incidents are mentioned in any of the newspapers. The twin brothers Patrick and Andrew Edison soon become targets by a group of Satanists in school. Craig learns that his neighbour, Brian Kensington has an acute gift and that things are far more sinister in town than he originally thought.
Norman James Hayward, known as Numbers is released from jail after his 2-year sentence and discovers that the Edison’s bought the old house he grew up in. Craig learns that he is a decedent of the north and that one of his children can banish evil. Andrew hears voices and soon finds an ancient relic of great power hidden near the ruin on the hill which changes his behaviour. The Edison family becomes the target of the satanic cult led by Norman and a senior from school, Victor Satow. Andrew accepts his newfound power and learns that the police can’t be trusted.
An old grave is unearthed and a dark entity ascends from hell to destroy a power that is a part of Andrew. Craig confronts some of the cult members and is left for dead after they have beaten him up, and cursed him the same way as his colleague, Ferris Long. Craig finds Ferris dead, and he knows he would be next.

Sarah escapes from the garage where she is held captive. Andrew learns that his brother, Patrick has the ability to banish evil with the relic he found on the hill. Sarah pleads for them to leave town, but Craig tells her he had been cursed and the evil has to be stopped. Andrew asks his family and friends to stay with Brian for their own protection, but Pamela knows where they are hiding.
Andrew confronts the cult members inside the warehouse when Norman and Victor escape. Patrick is about to close the portal to hell when they are confronted by Norman and Victor, only Norman is possessed and no longer human. In the meantime, Pamela is on a quest to kill Sarah and Emily.
Andrew, Patrick and Craig are losing the battle, because the evil is too strong. They are on the brink of death when Patrick gets the relic to the portal. Andrew kills Norman, and they have to get away in time as the portal collapsed.
Craig wakes up in a hospital where he receives a visit from a police inspector, Morgan who had found horrific evidence in a certain basement. He thanks Craig for his help and offers his protection. Andrew is visited by the Viking warrior phantoms and learns a great deal about himself and the divine science.
Delmar and Emily now in a relationship come back from the beach where they are being watched by a man in a brown robe. He is wearing a ring with the mark of the beast.

Monster in the Mirror

Andrew woke up in cold sweat. It was not his dream that woke him, but something was not quite the same anymore. He could sense it, almost as if the danger lurking in the shadows of the horizon started to move into action. Something was coming and he could feel it in the pit of his stomach.


Andrew thought about the dream he had while it was fresh in his memory. It was a pleasant one with no violence or atrocity which was somehow relieving. The old man Odin spoke wise words which made him think about his grandfather. There was something in his eyes. It was not only wisdom but sadness with a hint of vengeance. Somehow the dream felt much more real and vivid almost like the one he had when he found the buried wooden crate.


Andrew remembered the battle axe and got up immediately expecting to find the axe underneath his bed, but he was wrong, there was nothing. Andrew got back into bed and felt both stupid and disappointed.


As he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, Andrew wondered about how he could slay the enemy without getting caught. Although he knew some of his enemies already, he was sure there would be many more. He did not know if he had to kill all his enemies blindly or would he try to talk some sense into them first, and give them a chance to surrender their evil ways, and choose to live. What would the first kill feel like and what would he become after that? Would he become a killing machine with the power that has been given to him? Andrew expected to feel anxious about the opposing enemy, but he felt remarkably calm. There was a certain sense of excitement inside of him for he knew what kind of people they were and what they were capable of. They had hurt his dad in a very bad way just like they have done in the past. They had also mentioned Patrick's name before they attacked his dad. What were they saying about him and what were their plans? Andrew knew he had to stop the evil. They had gone too far already. Maybe he could start his quest in school somehow. The police were corrupt so they could be slain in the same manner.


Andrew knew the wheels started to turn and time was running out for humankind. Something woke him up for a reason. He could feel the evil that he had been called for. He turned to his side and tried to put his mind somewhere else while he waited for sleep to take him again. That is when he noticed something which caused his heart to pound faster. One of his closet doors was open. There was something glinting in there. Andrew could not recall putting anything in his closet that would reflect the little light from his alarm clock. He got out of bed and walked to his closet. Anxious about what he might find. Could it be real? Of course not. It would defy all the natural laws known to mankind, but then again, it happened before when he brought back the staff from the other world. He pushed his clothes aside and reached into his closet. His hand touched something cold and hard. He closed his hand around it and felt the power pulsing through his veins.
