Things happen when Zak is around and not always nice things. Fatherless, homeless, a traveler and a true pagan, Zak charms his way into middle-class Jessica's arms in the certain knowledge that he will usurp her cheating husband and lay claim to everything the wealthy, unsuspecting, Tom owns. If a touch of black magic helps his case along, then that is all to the good as far as Zak is concerned. After all, he learned all that pagan, graven image stuff at his die-hard hippie mother's knee.
