Synopsis
Dangerous Deception picks up after the events of Dangerous Creatures, with Link, a rock musician who is part Incubus, desperately searching for his missing girlfriend Ridley, a Dark Caster and Siren. Reuniting with his bandmates and joining forces with the enigmatic Lennox Gates, Link follows Ridley's trail through the American South, eventually reaching the fabled crossroads where bluesman Robert Johnson is said to have struck his infamous bargain. There they discover a hidden menagerie of imprisoned Casters and uncover a growing evil rooted in New Orleans, one that threatens to consume everyone connected to it. As the search intensifies, Link is forced to confront the possibility that no matter how far he goes or what he sacrifices, love alone might not be enough to save the person he cares about most.
