New Year's Eve in Brazil, a land of magnificent beauty and looming danger touched by magic and mystery at every turn, creates the backdrop for an American couple's chance encounter and perilous journey into the world of mysticism. They become unwitting pawns in the timeless battle of the gods. Their story is told in part by Do a Maria, the high priestess who embodies the sea goddess Yemanja: "Magic is not a toy, not the way most people think of it. Magic is a door that once opened is a door might just as easily slam shut behind you."
