Director Roman Polanski's first film in over five years stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a New York book dealer hired to find the last copies of 'The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows', a manuscript written in collaboration with the Devil. But his search for the books becomes a deadly obsession as he gets involved in theft and conspiracy to murder, not to mention satanic rituals which could reopen the gates of Hell.
