## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Tehran, 1127 A.D. Blood from a shattered gemstone. An ancient evil awakens, eager to grant wishes with fatal consequences. One woman holds the key to stopping the Djinn's reign of terror, if she can resist temptation. Kurtzman’s effects-heavy debut is a minor wish-fulfillment for genre fans.
