      Da sempre la Loggia della Caccia si oppone alle forze oscure che ambiscono al dominio del mondo. Nella nostra epoca, è affidato a Sir Adam Sinclair il compito di contrapporsi alla malefica Loggia della Lince. All'apparenza ricco psichiatra scozzese, Sinclair in realtà è un adepto della loggia della Caccia, pronto a fare luce su quei fenomeni che la polizia etichetta come "soprannaturali", proprio come in questo caso, che prende le mosse da un'inquietante serie di omicidi rituali. Sinclair capisce subito che le forze del male sono nuovamente all'opera e comincia a indagare, aiutato dai suoi amici più fidati. Ma non può di certo immaginare che i suoi nemici hanno addirittura riesumato un culto sacrilego, creduto estinto da millenni.
