Charles Shipman and his daughter, Lily Shipman, flee from an evil spirit that has taken hold of the body that belongs to a prince of Dubai. They find themselves depending on a professional thief, Adriana and the holy man who hired her, for their safety and well being as they search out clues and artifacts to recreate a sacred ceremony to banish the djinn back into darkness from which he was born. The djinn proves to be very clever as he herds the unwitting group straight towards his lair. Human sacrifice is on the table and could very well be the only remedy for this perilous situation.
