Mystic revelations drive the plot in this melodramatic tale of twin sisters born to fulfill an ancient apocalyptic prophecy. While ambitious Alice blindly allies with the forces of evil, gentle Lia begins the long quest to save the world, aided by spiritualists, astral projection, and ancient books; the only clear conclusion reached seems to be that Zink is planning a sequel.
