Synopsis

"It's a perfect circle, Chris. The god receives his audience, the grid receives the power--and we light up Chicago."

After the perilous retrieval of a long-dormant god from Iraq, Chris Copeland--professional god hunter and company troubleshooter--is about ready to quit his job. But his employers at the Registry have other plans...plans to build a power facility on the shores of Lake Michigan. Adam Shailer, a rising star at the Registry, thinks he can cage the god, drain its energy, and power the city.

It's Chris's job to make sure nothing goes wrong. And at first, everything seems fine. Great, even. But when ecstatic devotees start leaving human sacrifices on the beach near the god-house, it quickly becomes clear that the god is not as contained as the Registry would have everyone believe. The devil's in the wires, and there's no turning back now.
