Heights Police Officer William Kelly struggles against past demons suffered in Afghanistan and Iraq as a Marine. But when an occultist attempts to resurrect a four-hundred-year-old witch, darkness collapses on him. Forced into a realm of terror, Kelly must hunt an ancient evil, a Witch’s Bottle, and the truth behind an extinct Religious Assembly.

Afghanistan, 2004. William Kelly and a hunter-killer team from Forward Operation Base Rhino, start the push-up Highway One, they encounter the vicious stoning of a young girl. Commanded to ignore the honor killing, and stick to the Rules of Engagement, Staff Sergeant Michael Theodore, “Theo,” disobeys Batallion Command and gives the order to engage the Taliban. What follows is a nightmare. An imminent attack on an ancient village, manned by old men, women, and children, becomes an action to prevent genocide. With no support from Taskforce Sledgehammer, William Kelly is brought face to face with fear, rage, hatred, and apathy toward a young girl on the verge of death.
