Daisaku Watson, a Japanese-American bounty hunter, investigates demonic activity on behalf of the Mage Council, a powerful metaphysical organization overseeing magical energies on Earth. When a teenage Latina social activist, Justicia Torres, is charged with bombing a government building during an LA protest march, Watson  must discover if the fires are the result of natural mage abilities or a result of someone who has sold their soul to a demon for power.

But with the help of his friends, a cop and a clairvoyant, Daisaku discovers this simple arson case is more complicated than meets the eye. Instead, he finds himself mitigating an evolving  war between heaven and hell with demons and celestials roaming the earth in human guises. The balance has been tipped, and  he is running out of time to decide whether Justicia is friend or foe.
