Jake Falc n's troubled life comes to a horrific end and his spirit is cast into a nightmarish world of darkness where he must fight the demons that rule this cold forbidding abyss to save his soul and the soul of other spirits. From the dawn of time demons have ruled the darkness corralling and devouring the souls of wondering hapless spirits that fall prey to their ravenous appetite. Jake has been chosen by the light to be a Spirit Hunter. His mission is to find and protect the spirits in the darkness before they are victimized and lead them into the light to deliver the souls they carry within. In denial, Jake is a reluctant warrior who won't accept his death and straddles the world of the living and the dead. Among the living Jake has to remain vigilant for there are traitors who will obtain boundless treasures from the darkness if they betray him. In the world of the dead Jake struggles to accept his given mission and at first has an aversion to fighting the demons and their cohorts and protect the souls of the ill-fated spirits. Jake learns, from other Spirit Hunters, that if the demons destroy enough souls that the light will be weaken and finally extinguished. This will give the demons a path to their ultimate goal; the conquest of the world of mortals.
