It's been two years since Jackie Estacado used the Darkness to
kill the men responsible for his girlfriend's murder. He's been
unable to shake the memory of Jenny's death since bottling up his
supernatural power and now the Darkness wants out. A sudden,
unprovoked attack on Jackie's life heralds the start of a
