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

Numbers and his colleagues were driving down the streets scanning each corner and building for a hint of Sarah.


'How the fuck is this possible?' Numbers shouted. Mucus was flying from his lips.


'How the fuck should I know? The bitch was tied up pretty good,' Victor said.


'We are so fucked now do you know that?' Numbers shouted. 'We needed her and now that she escaped, we've got fuck all leverage, just a pond of piss on the floor. Didn't you think about what was inside the crates?'


'There was some old shit of my grandpa in there,' Victor said. 'I didn't know there were any tools in them. Fuck, I'm not even sure how she got to them in the first place. The crates were pretty far away from her when I last checked. I tied the rope tight so that she could barely move around.'


'Fuckin stupid...fuck. Do you think Andrew will show up after his mother is back with them?' Numbers asked.


'He fucking better,' Victor said. 'If he doesn't, we'll fuck up their house and get him out of there. We'll burn it down.'


'You mean, burn down my house,' Numbers said looking at Victor. His face was grim.


'Fuck the house Numbers, we can have whatever we want after we got the power. We need that more than anything else, remember?'


Numbers looked at the road again. 'There are good memories there.'


'I say we go according to plan anyway,' Mike said from the back. 'I've got a strange feeling he might show up, regardless. If he's not scared, then he's got a score to settle.'


'Yeah, I hope you're right,' Numbers said.


'We better be ready because if he does show up, it will be with war in his heart,' Victor said.


'We will be ready,' Numbers said with finality. 'I don't think we'll find her again. We've been looking all over. I've got a feeling she's hiding in one of these houses or maybe she's home already.'


'I doubt that,' Victor said. 'She couldn't have escaped that long before we got there. I think she's still here in Vredenburg somewhere waiting for someone to pick her up.'


'Why don't you phone Francois and find out if they got a call of her whereabouts?' Numbers asked. 'Maybe they want the police to accompany them on their way to her hiding place. That way we can still get her.'


Victor retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialled Francois's number. It rang several times. Victor was just about to hang up when there was an answer on the other end. It was not Francois's voice.


'I was waiting for you Victor,' Andrew's voice came through the phone's speaker.


Victor was caught off guard. 'What's going...where's Francois?'


'UMM, Francois didn't quite make it. He's dead. Snapped the fucker's useless neck so I guess the doors are busy slamming in your face one at a time,' Andrew said.


'Yeah, now you're talking,' Andrew said. 'Now that my mother is safe, I'm going to fuck each one of you until there's no more fucking left. It's not the fun fuck you're thinking about. Don't worry Vicky, I will stick to the plan. I will go there out of free will because I want to...believe me I want to kill you fuckers so bad I Can Hardly Wait. I'm going to pull that ugly fucker friend of yours' tattoos from his face and neck and I'm going to take my time doing it. Be there. You called for this. I will deal with you last.' He disconnected the call.


Victor slowly brought the phone down from his ear. His face was pale as he stared through the windscreen.


'Francois is dead,' Victor said. 'Andrew killed him and he's angry. We are in trouble.'


They drove in silence, each one trapped in their own uneasy minds.
