Synopsis:
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 the monks have sent 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 strange creatures, magical charms, and the threat of death around every corner as Sardo does everything in his power to prevent them from uncovering where he has hidden the child.
