A psychiatric patient wreeks havoc on a small town after finding a genie in a lighter.
Imagine for a moment that the lighter you're using to fire up your next cigarette is home to far more than just wick and fluid ... According to the Qu'ran, two creations have free will: humans and Djinn ... Made of smokeless flame, Djinn can be good or evil. One might even take up residence in your Zippo -- any flick of which can change the world in a terrifying instant.
