'EXU', the Brazilian word for the devil, was the echo as the bullet whizzed past the young boy's head. The bullet was not a warning, it was meant to kill. The next two bullets hit there mark with devastating results. The gunman had been told to rid the Brazilian streets of the young orphan gangs by any means, but bloody sidewalks and back-alley corpses was not good for the tourism trade. Living in the shadows a group of men known only as EXU, by the street orphans, had a more sinister solution. Were these just merely evil men or something straight out of perdition itself? The F.B.I. was dogging them across two continents and through the underworld streets of a city well known to be associated with devil worshippers...'New Orleans'. Over centuries this ancient cult of men has acquired the world's asylums one country at a time for a purpose so hideous it is almost unimaginable. All they needed now were the American asylums, which are, nearly in their grasp. An American college student, while on vacation in Brazil, is mistakenly taken to a hidden insane asylum where he learns the horrible truth about the asylum and more importantly, becomes the only person to learn the true identity of the evil people who run it. Mysteriously released, he returns to the U.S. with a plan to rescue ten children he was forced to leave behind...a plan that takes him to New Orleans' darkest back streets where evil is worshipped and people whisper names of ancient demons...names too long forgotten.
