Summary: While working on a piece exposing would-be mystics, a television producer brings unwanted attention to a reclusive alchemist. He retaliates with a curse that terrorized and killed a writer a decade earlier. Can she undo his satanic spell in time to save her life? Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Iain Cuthbertson (Gorillas in the Mist) star in this tense British thriller based on a tale by ghost-story master M.R. James.
