Description
Summary:	It's Christmas Eve. Basque priest Father Angel believes he has found a secret code that reveals that the Antichrist will be born before dawn in Madrid. When he attempts to explain this revelation to his superiors, he is scorned, and so embarks on a mission to seek out and eradicate "the Beast" while utterly forsaking his priestly duties. Fr. Angel aligns himself with death metalhead named José Maria and Professor Cavan, the unctuous host of an occult-oriented reality television program called The Dark Side. Through the course of an endlessly gory evening, Angel and his allies struggle to invoke the Devil to find out the place of birth, so they can find and kill the baby--and thus defeat him.
