The story centers on a mysterious worldwide underground satanic cult called the Brethren of the Communities of the Golden Path. They use brainwashing coupled with sexual abandonment to recruit members and they also practice human sacrifice. There are no supernatural beings in this story just ordinary evil people waging a war against good.

Syndee Savage is an ordinary Louisiana student at TCD, a university situated in the up-market town of Irlam Heights. She comes from nearby Pinkerton Junction which is considered the wrong side of the tracks but she yearns for some real excitement in her life, possibly a singing career and a cute guy who she can date.

Days before Christmas her wayward porn star cousin, Jenny JackMAN, comes on a flying visit to whisk Syndee and her friend, Charlene, away to the Brethren's establishment in Arizona ostensibly for some fun. However, once there, Syndee is brainwashed and joins the Brethren, whilst her friend is sacrificed. It is here that Syndee is told she is very special to the Brethren, but precisely why is withheld from her.

Upon returning to university, Syndee is readily accepted by the elite for she is now one of the Brethren, they easing her financial burdens. She gets a complete makeover and manages to end up on a date with the cute Tommy Scott but this turns out to a disaster. Her wrath knows no bounds.

Tommy's brother, Bradley, a lieutenant in the US Marines, comes looking to try and find out what has happened to his brother. There then follows an adventure as he tries his best to discover the truth and keep one step ahead of trouble.
