Paranormal | Thriller Police Procedural
Deep in the jungles of Colombia, an American priest is
shot dead in his makeshift church. A few weeks later an Indian shaman called Moie arrives in
south Florida, armed only with a bag of totems and the
fearsome power of Jaguar, his god. In Miami, retired detective Jimmy Paz, his wife, and his
seven-year-old daughter are plagued by dreams of giant
jungle cats that haunt both their sleeping and waking
hours. When affluent Miami businessmen begin to die in gruesome
fashion, the local police are baffled by the lack of
clues -- other than the massive, catlike footprints that
appear at the scene of each murder. They turn to Paz,
famous throughout the city for cracking open two previous,
impossible-to-solve cases, and for reasons he doesn't dare
share, he agrees to come out of his self-imposed
retirement to track the killer. As Paz investigates, Moie finds refuge with a group of
ecologically minded activists who treat the strange little
man as a pet until they find out exactly what mission
brought him to the United States and that it's somehow
connected to the grisly murders that are occurring with
frightening regularity. The deeper Paz digs into the case,
the closer to home the danger gets: his investigation
opens the door to his mysterious and shocking past and he
slowly begins to realize that the dreams he and his family
are having could mean the death of his beloved daughter.
To save her life -- and his own -- he must reach into the
deepest corners of his soul and find the strength to hold
fast against the irresistible pull of the spirit world
