Charley Davidson faces two urgent problems. Her friend Cookie's neighbor Mimi has vanished after leaving a cryptic message about meeting at a coffee shop. When Charley and Cookie arrive, they find only Mimi's absence and a woman's name scrawled on the bathroom wall. Mimi's husband reveals his wife had been acting strangely since learning of an old high school friend's murder. That friend turns out to be the same woman whose name Mimi left behind. Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow has abandoned his physical form to stay near Charley in spirit. As the Son of Satan, he knows demons are torturing his empty body to draw Charley into their trap.
