Nestled in the mountains of Tibet, an oracle known as “The Golden Child” has been born. Although guarded by the monks who raised him, villainous Sardo Numspa is determined to use the child’s mystical powers for evil purposes and hires bandits to kidnap him. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, crafty self-styled detective Chandler Jarrell is approached by Kee Nang, a young woman sent by the monks to aid in their quest to recover the child. Informing Chandler that he is the “chosen one,” the duo embark on an increasingly strange and dangerous adventure into the supernatural underworld, facing magical charms, strange creatures, and the constant threat of death as Sardo does everything in his power to prevent them from uncovering the child’s location.
