Official Press Release:
A young man stands tied to a post weeping, surrounded by tar-soaked tinder, begging for his life. He proclaims his innocence. This is the fortified encampment of The Christecs, a people lost in time who practice a hybrid of Conquistador Inquisition, Catholicism and Aztec paganism. The booming accusatory voice belongs to the High Priest, Tolmac, who stands before his people with a lighted torch in his hand preaching against evil and the devil. While exploring a lakefront, Challenger, Summerlee and Veronica hear the scream of a little girl drowning. They pull her from the water and Summerlee revives her. Tolmac sees this and labels Summerlee a devil. Veronica escapes, but Summerlee will be put on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Challenger will defend him and if found guilty, both men will be burned at the stake. It will be up to Roxton and the others to save their friends.
