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.
Craig’s wife, Sarah is injured when she is kidnapped by Victor and Norman. Andrew finds out about the cult’s secret gathering place in an abandoned warehouse just out of town. 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

'I'm telling you Numbers, that fucking guy had something to do with it. Did you see the way he looked at us? There's nothing in his eyes. No fear, no remorse, nothing,' Victor said near hysterical.


'First, there were flames and now there's nothing. Which one is it?' Numbers asked agitated.


'He's different from the rest. I tell you now,' Victor said.


'Tell me about Tommy, what happened?' Numbers asked.


'One of the guys went for a smoke in the shed and found him there. He had a fork in his chest. The last time I've seen Tommy was during the last break, never again. Mike, did you hear anything else,' Victor asked looking at Mike in the backseat.


'No, I heard the same story. Apparently, there was loads of blood on his face and everywhere,' Mike said. 'They say it seemed like Tommy had a fight just before he was killed.'


Victor stared out the windscreen. His mind was somewhere else. He knew they would also be questioned about Tommy's death, but at least they had friends in the police. That was not what bothered him. He did not like the way Andrew looked at them. Then there was the thing with his eyes and the extraordinary strength. He had something else. He had help from another source, a power that was not evil, but a power that was stronger, a power that could destroy them all if it wanted to. It was as if a drop of water plumped into an underwater pool echoing off the cave walls. It was clear to Victor what Andrew had and what it meant. Andrew had the power Mormo and Hecate told them about during their gathering. The power they had to destroy before it destroyed them.


'Numbers,' Victor said. There was excitement as well as fear in his voice 'Remember what Mormo and Hecate said at the gathering?'


'Yes, what about it?' Numbers asked with a frown.


'Mormo said that he came here from hell because there was a power he felt.'


'I know where that power is and I know who holds it,' Victor said staring out the windscreen.


'That Andrew, there's something about him, man.'


'Ah fuck off already with this Andrew guy,' Numbers said agitated.


'Trust me on this. He's got help from somewhere and it is not our kind. There's something different about him and I've seen it in his eyes before. I felt it when he lifted me off the ground. I mean, who do you know that can do such a thing with one hand? I'm not a small guy and he is not that big either, a normal school student with that amount of power. I'm telling you, he's our target. We need to kill that fucker before he grows too strong. I hope it's not too late already. I believe he had something to do with Tommy's death as well.'


'I'm telling you, man, this fucker is an animal,' Victor said with a flat tone.


'So what do you want to do?' Numbers asked.


'Well, we can ask Francois to work something out so that Andrew can go to jail, but that would not solve our problem. This guy must die. I've got a plan though. We need to start right away. We're going to Saldanha. Drive like hell.'
