The Knight family are long-time soldiers in the army of "the most evil one", affectionately known to his subordinates as the Supreme Patriarch. One of the highest ranks in this army of miscreants is the rank of Global Traveler, a rank that Santini Knight has attained.Santini is an expert in his field and his specialty is transforming the morals of the most devout. His career was progressing at a record pace until a trip to rural Mississippi.There he met Joanna, a young woman of unshakeable faith, Jeremy, the son of an evangelical mother, and Reverend Daley, the pastor of a small rural church. Corrupting the souls of "The Mississippi Three", as Santini called them, was supposed to be a piece of cake - that is until his powers were compromised by the transgressions of a member of his own family. With his abilities impaired, a determined Santini pursues his prey using the human frailties of hatred, greed, and addiction as his allies.
