Many years ago, to save his life from a rare pulmonary condition that killed his mother, Alekxander was genetically altered by his father, a renowned scientist.

The ancient Sumerian prophecy once proclaimed, “A man can only escape from the Land of No Return, if he brings his replacement”. Therefore, Shaman Azack, out on a hunt for his dead son’s replacement, realizes that Josh fits in his place perfectly.
Meanwhile, a police officer, Timothy Daylong, asks Josh Hastings’ father Dr. Dale Hastings, a renowned expert histologist, to help investigate a string of unusual murders only to discover that they have to deal with something supernatural and it directly involves Dale’s son Josh.
Dale and Azack, both fathers, begin the fight for their sons’ lives but they stand on opposite sides of light and darkness.
