Agent Miranda Diaz has been in Barstow for only a few hours and already she’s knee deep in you-know-what. A local named Eli is possessed—or, well, half-possessed—by a demon. And there’s some wheeling and dealing going on between a ballet instructor/kingpin named Pria and a biker gang called the Hail Satans. Which just begs the question—what the HELL is going on in Barstow?
