When a coven of witches conspire to bring down a prehistoric satellite orbiting the earth for millennia, the Stone Soldiers spring into action, encountering a mysterious, superhuman priest spouting dire warnings that the Black Knight must not be opened.
Defying orders to leave the satellite in the hands of the Air Force, Colonel Mark Kenslir launches his own investigation into the satellite's origins and finally discovers the dark forces it contains.
To combat the supernatural, the U.S. Military relies on a Joint Forces Unit of psychics and supersoldiers. Based in Miami, Florida, Detachment 1039 responds to threats conventional forces cannot handle. Stone Soldiers—men turned to living stone—work alongside a werewolf, a cryokinetic, a vampire and their enigmatic leader: Colonel Mark Kenslir—a man kept immortal by a series of curses and possessing an innate resistance to magic. Together, they are America's first line of defense from the magical and the mythical.
