Welcome back, Jimmy Mack. You still crazy? His friends and fellow musicians want to know. He’s free, off anti-psychotic meds and back on the scene, playing jazz and R&B in the urban backwater of Albany, New York in 1972. Life seems almost normal until members of the soul music revue he’s working with start turning up dead, and Jimmy is the main suspect. It doesn’t help that he’s falling for Yvonne, a devastatingly beautiful singer, who may be up to her cool blue eyes in a deadly scheme.
Jimmy looks to his friend Laid, a methadone-addicted keyboard genius, and Shorty, an irascible soul-music DJ, to help him avoid the cops, the killers and his own descent back into madness. The story unfolds in the rhythms of jazz and blues, with stops at chitlin’ circuit nightclubs, gay cabarets and after-hours discotheques. Music becomes Jimmy’s refuge, as well as the key to figuring out who the real killer is. Jimmy has some hard choices to make that force him to either conquer his inner demons or be lost forever.

When his ex-wife Margot asks to meet for dinner, Nick’s life had long been in a downward spiral. Plagued by hallucinations and voices that he attributes to his rather liberal use of alcohol, he soon discovers something far more sinister was at play. Margot reveals that both she and Nick are possessed by a demon known only to a seventeenth century Indian tribe. The creature slips unnoticed through time and space and orchestrates its victims to enact hideous acts of violence upon loved ones and neighbors. Worse, the demon, Ouintan-Mantua, is calling them both back, back to the place of their first encounter, Clarion, Pennsylvania.
Will they survive the beckoning?
