As he closes in on the suspect, Johnny witnesses a supernatural occurrence - a huge monster appears from a green light known as the window and swallows up the criminal. Apparently, a series of horrific incidents similar to this have been plaguing the cities across the nation. Johnnys female counterpart is 21-year-old bounty hunter Shania, a Native American who is searching for these mysterious windows and determined to fight them using her spiritual powers.
