Four people. Four lives. Inexplicably connected. New York City 1908 Margaret Hastings - an uneducated orphan who became a career prostitute at the age of 15. Edward Hastings - Margaret's illegitimate son from her brief affair with a john. A victim of the crime-filled streets of the Lower East Side of New York City, his love/hate relationship with his mother causes him to make a deal with the devil. New York City 2001 Tericita Ellis - a Caribbean-American professional astrologer. On the day she inherits her grandmother's successful astrology business, she is warned by Grandma Williams of a time in the future when she will come to hate her chosen profession. Prof. Aaron Jacobs - Professor of Ancient Religions and Prophecies. His innocent gift of an antique astrology book to the love of his life and fiance, Teri, is the catalyst for a chain of events the couple can neither understand nor control.
