A world away from the life she once knew in Los Angeles, few things have changed

side, peril surrounds her, as the 68—and a new, mysterious force—seek her
destruction; on the other side, the Snake Goddess continues to churn inside her,
thirsting for revenge… and blood. However, there are forces of good at work as
well. Jess finds a friend and guide in Sari, an old Indian woman she met in Goa,
who turns out to be the reincarnation of one of the villagers slaughtered by the
68 those 300 years ago. As Sari leads the way into the heart of the Kabini
jungle—they do not know that they’re being followed, by the 68, yes, but also by
a darker, deadlier spirit than anyone can anticipate.

Orphaned on the mean streets of Treasure Town, lost boys Black and White must
mug, steal, and fight to survive. Around them moves a world of corruption and
loneliness, small-time crooks and neurotic police officers, and a band of
sadistic yakuza who have plans for their once-fair city. Can they rise above
their environment? Rating: M (C: 1-0-0) NOTE: Available worldwide.
