Jack Boniface nearly died one night—attacked by something out of a nightmare. By fateful chance, he escaped. But since that terrifying experience something has changed. Now, when darkness falls, a feeling comes over him, the urge to cast out the evil that would defile the night. The city of New Orleans has always had a history of wild nightlife and superstition, but now it holds the whisper of a man who prowls the night, savagely attacking those who corrupt it. Demons in the dark, beware the vigilante known as...Shadowman.
Master Darque's time tunnel sends Jack back to 1890's New Orleans, where he faces the Shadowman of that era, Maxim St. James. Meanwhile, in the present, Dr. Mirage attempts to save both Jack and himself from the machinations of Darque.
