Not Always St. Jerome

Jerome LaRocca is a middle-aged, happily married advertising guy with a breezy personality, who begins to experience disturbing flashbacks related to his life from the time he was five years old. The flashbacks are filled with a lot he remembers about his past, as well as some brutal events and actions he does not remember or believe he could have done. LaRocca seeks out a psychologist friend for advice and assistance. The psychologist believes Jerome is experiencing classic dissociate disorder syndrome, a splitting into other personalities, and tries to help him from that perspective. Because the flashbacks are so bizarre, LaRocca believes he is being manipulated, for some unknown reason, by forces from the real Dark Side. He pursues that idea with a high school friend and expert on everything demonic. After twenty-eight years of not seeing or speaking to him, she calls LaRocca on the day of an especially terrifying flashback because she sensed something terrible going on in his life. The three of them--LaRocca, his psychologist friend, and the high school associate--become ensnared in a bizarre investigation that culminates in their horrific life and death confrontation with the angel of the bottomless pit, and King of the mutant creatures that emerge from that pit.
