As a freshman in a suburban college near Chicago, Andrew leads a mundane life until he meets a professor named Tonya. She is secretly a master sorcerer, and she invites him into a conspiracy of magic. Only those few who possess a special ability may join. A resourceful young woman named Charley has the same supernatural gift. She accompanies Andrew on his journey into a dark profession. When Andrew meets Blake, a sorcerer who knew his brilliant grandfather, Andrew becomes embroiled in a game of lies and treachery. Blake's crimes leave a grisly trail of casualties, and Andrew must take up the mission of stopping him, but Blake's true objectives are even more devious than Andrew anticipates.
