In 1926 in New York, the inhabitants are in need of heroes when a series of murders occur all over the city, all the victims found with ancient Roman coins placed on their eyelids. The Ghost finds bizarre links with the murders and a gang of Italian-American gangsters, and a plot to bring an ancient pagan god into the physical world.
