Flatland

Shanghai: Three young Americans find themselves caught in the mysterious web of a man known only as "Smith." Smith's world, "Flatland," is terrifying. A place where the past and the present exist at the same time and intersect with deadly consequences.

Coventry is gone, but Khan is back, but this time in the more youthful form of Noel Jagger. Noel is a slick, seductive playboy reclaims his stake atop the criminal underworld of Shanghai.

Jagger gets his hands on a deadly nerve agent developed during WWII, and soon after an entire village of people is decimated. JT and Mitchell set out to find who is responsible, while Smith's rage reaches a boil. The horrors of his past encounters with Kahn are revealed, as they come full circle into the present with a new, unexpected target: Linda Meyers.

Briefcase-size nuclear bombs are on the black market in Shanghai. Mitchell goes undercover as a potential buyer, embroiling himself in a triangle of deceit and desire that could easily turn deadly, and JT's got history with one of the dealers, a reincarnated minion of Khan's who's hunted him, and killed him, throughout time.

A vicious car accident puts a young boy in a coma and leads Mitchell into a divine encounter with the ancient goddess of mercy, Xian Gu. Smith dispatches JT, Linda and Amy to investigate a strain of deadly knock-off drugs, secretly commissioned by Jagger, with JT also on the path of a brutal murder weapon he himself may have created, in the past.

Smith closes in on his eternal nemesis Khan, living in post-millennial Shanghai in the guise of arch-criminal Richard Coventry. Caught in the middle is Amy Li, the unknowing pawn in an age-old battle between the ultimate good and the ultimate evil. Meanwhile, JT and Mitchell are on the run, hunted by a relentless killer who won't give up their trail, even after JT kills him.

A female conjuror long ago sealed a contract with Khan, selling her soul for eternal youth, knowledge, and power. Khan's part of the deal, she's granted all for as long as she continues to kill Mitchell, a deed she has successfully performed for a couple hundred years.

Smith uses JT and Mitchell to put the squeeze on an accountant with connections to Jagger. To tie up his loose ends, Jagger sends Diao Li, a merciless assassin who is also Amy Li's long-lost father. His identity is revealed, and Smith makes a perhaps unforgivable decision-- to force the hand of revenge.

Both JT and Amy welcome old friends to Shanghai, and are reminded of their lives before Flatland. JT's friend lures him into a tomb-raiding scheme, unknowingly awakening an invincible ancient warrior with ties to Lord Khan.

Three mysterious women enter the lives of JT, Mitchell and Amy at the same time. All are beautiful. All are deadly. All share a secret, and only Smith knows the truth. But is he telling?

It's The Omen, circa 2010. The devil's daughter is alive and in Shanghai, and with her come secrets that threaten the balance of good and evil in the universe. The battle for the girl's soul re-ignites, in the past and the present, between Amy Li, a mysterious Priest, and Simon Cross, Khan's newest, most sinister persona.

Cross is history, but the devil's got a brand new bag: Khan is a lady. Her name is Victoria Burns-- think Lauren Bacall at 30. She runs an upscale art gallery atop one of Shanghai's most incredible buildings and has a greenhouse which makes "The Little Shop of Horrors" look like a fairy tale.

The ghost of an ancient warrior is awakened in JT's loft, and it blames JT for its murder. JT needs help from Uncle to discover whether he is indeed guilty of this supernatural crime. Meanwhile, Amy's forbidden liaison with Jagger comes back with a vengeance, in the form of an inquisitive lawyer, whose search for the truth may yield clues to Khan's new identity.

A disturbed young woman escapes from a mental hospital, spreading insanity and fear wherever she goes. JT discovers the truth behind her madness, but he's too late to save Amy, Mitchell, and worst of all, Smith, from her deadly strain of paranoia.

The onset of four supernatural signs foretell our heroes' worst nightmare: the death of Smith. It's inevitable, unless Amy can defeat the Avatar, a ruthless, lightning-quick warrior who arrives in Shanghai to deal the final blow.

Mitchell is trapped in a new Flatland-a twisted mirror-world where everything he knows is turned on its head. It's a nightmare reality where Khan rules with abandon, and Smith is missing; where Amy runs a brothel and JT drives a cab; and where Mitchell himself stalks the streets as a Jack-the-Ripper style serial killer.

Khan and Smith. Finally, they come face to face. The battle envelops the current lives of all our characters... and comes to a surprise ending that no one could have predicted.

A Shaolin Monk returns to the present in order to set straight a horrendous mistake he made several hundred years ago... when he unwittingly saved the life of Khan, and let JT die by mistake. The monk's redemption takes several strange twists before he manages to save JT's life, in the present, and cancel the debt that has haunted him for several centuries.

A mafia vendetta catches up to Mitchell in Shanghai. Fear forces him into Flatland for the first time, where he dodges bullets all the way back to 19th century Paris. Uncle and JT teach him to control his newfound abilities, while Amy searches for answers in the sudden disappearance of Noel Jagger.

Simon Cross pulls out all the stops in an attempt to take Smith into Flatland and force Armageddon. Amy wills her way into Flatland, and discovers the horrible secret behind her relationship with Noel Jagger, while JT and Mitchell face off with Cross' thugs in the present. They survive, but not before losing a close ally.

Mitchell narrowly escapes death at the hands of a pair of vengeful archangels, one of whom he may have loved in the past, while Khan and Smith maneuver their pawns into place, in anticipation of a final showdown.

A series of nightmare encounters leads Amy to a frightening discovery: she was executed as a witch in the past, and the judge who sentenced her has returned for a re-trial. Meanwhile, Mitchell and JT secretly tail Smith, hoping to glean information, but end up the victims of some cosmic manipulation.
