A young man loses the love of his life. He devotes himself to bringing her back to life. He finds a spell that can bring her back to life, in a book called The Codex of Black Magic. The spell requires some herbs, a circle with a pentagram in it, candles, and last but not least a soul. The man gathers everything he needs, then sets off to find someone to kill.

He finds a secluded area and waits for someone to pass by. A young woman walks by his hiding spot and he ambushes her. He stabs her through the stomach. She gurgles and falls to the ground. Blood quickly surrounds her body. Within ten minutes the young woman is dead.

Once she's dead, he hides her body in a dumpster. He then returns to the site where his lover's grave is located. He draws the pentagram and lights the candles. He calls out to her.

Seconds later, a hand comes out of the ground, followed by the rest of a person. "Elaine!" he says. He runs to her and holds her gently.

"Christian," she whispers. She embraces him back.

Two days later, the young woman that he murdered was found. The police find his fingerprints all over the woman's body. Kara calls Thomas to investigate the man's house.
