Few people are cursed enough to see demons and fortunate enough to survive their encounter. Stark poverty and dark evil surround a young boy named Matt who has the rare ability to see angel’s wings sparkle in the sunlight and feel their presence even near the darkest of deeds. In the constant battle between good and evil, Matt is poised to be the champion for either side, but will suffering strengthen his soul or make him embrace wickedness?

Evil is subtle and powerful and sly, and Matt spirals into darkness as he contemplates that if God won’t change his life, well, then perhaps he will…if he can become evil enough to do so.

With deliberate intention he walks the edge of darkness, for a time becoming a cold and timid soul that loses its compassion and sensitivity in this supernatural dark thriller that begins with the tragic 1921 Tulsa race riot and progresses to a climactic battle in the 1960s.

Just when it appears his soul is lost, a young girl arrives to collect on a forgotten promise. Evil has great strength, but sometimes a gentle touch contains more power than a mighty blow. Extraordinary things happen when a girl breathes life into his heart and hope into his soul and calms his spirit, but that just might be part of the devil’s plan.

Matt learns love is powerless to prevent destiny from being bent and dreams from being broken. When you are left with bitterness in your heart, resentfulness poisons your blood, your thoughts turn corrosive, you taste anger on the tip of your tongue and inhale the scent of death into your lungs —it may be time to kill someone.
