An aspiring reporter sets out to investigate the mysterious combustion of a man and crosses paths with a local psychiatrist along the way.
The deaths are now signed at each scene: MOLOCH; the victims seem to be deliberately targeted; Gabriel witnesses a fiery killing, and Louise searches for leads.
Gabriel copes with his grief, and Louise is about to give up on her investigation, when Moloch summons her for a meeting.
The newspaper prints Louise's story of Moloch's claims; Moloch reveals his next murder; and Gabriel has a revelation.
Louise runs from Moloch, and Gabriel shelters her in a motel on the outskirts of town; the fates of Moloch, his followers, and his prey are sealed.
