Sacrifice Dreams

Jimmy Santos is a retired LAPD Detective who owns a profitable PI firm catering to the film industry. Serving LAPD Detective Mark Brenner runs the Special Cases Squad, which handles high-profile cases that dominate the news and terrify the public, requests Jimmy’s help on a string of savage, ritualistic murders.
The Priest is a ritualistic killer convinced he is descended from an ancient line of Aztec Shaman. Booted out of Vietnam when his mutilation killings of Vietnamese soldiers became known, he finds peace telling stories to his Mexican people until a drive-by massacre of his story group unleashes his rage on the public.
Simultaneously, Jimmy responds to a Sony Pictures request that he stymie a blackmail plot to disrupt shooting of “Seascape.” He meets Alison Reed, the film’s director. A love affair begins between these two complicated, confident, and ambitious people.
