Synopsis
Trixa Iktomi owns a bar in Las Vegas, sells information, and kills the occasional demon on the side. When she learns of a powerful artifact known as the Light of Life, she knows she has hit the jackpot, because both sides, angel and demon, would give anything for it, and it may lead her to the demon who killed her brother. But first she has to find it. As Heaven and Hell ready themselves for an apocalyptic showdown, Trixa must decide where her true loyalty lies and what she is ready to fight for, because in her world, if you line up on the wrong side, you pay with more than your life.
