They say the course of true love never runs smooth, and Detective Ben Nelson is learning the truth of that adage in a big way. Two months ago, his lover Artie Middleton was tortured by demons determined to claim the psychic's special gifts for their own. Now the same friends who helped Ben with the rescue are making a strong case that something about Artie isn't right. When Artie verbally attacks his best friend, Ben is forced to acknowledge the unbreakable barriers surrounding Artie's mind. Searching for someone with the right gifts to help, Ben encounters a woman who insists there's only one way - and one person - who stands a chance at saving Artie. What Ben finds when he goes on his solo rescue mission may very well mean both of their deaths, as they confront the evil that has made Artie's mind the Devil's playground.
