视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。一个陌生人突然上门，说要偿还积欠她死去丈夫的债款。米娜的丈夫巴巴克因为谋杀罪被判处死刑，她得独自抚养喑哑的女儿，生活陷入困境，只得去牛奶厂打工赚取生活费。有天法院将她找去，通知她已遭处决的丈夫经证实是无罪冤死的，米娜的人生从此发生了翻天覆地的变化。政府虽然道歉，也提出了象征性的赔偿，但米娜并不甘心，决心与女儿展开一场与冷血体制的无声对抗。然而在一个鄙视单亲女性的社会里，米娜无法得到更多的支援，甚至连夫家都开始看衰她。就在她积蓄即将耗尽之际，一个名叫雷萨的陌生人上门要给她钱，声称是要偿还积欠她死去丈夫的一笔债款。米娜起初有所警觉，但孤立无援的她，很快就让雷萨进入了自己的生活。雷萨真的是来偿还债务吗？他又有什么目的呢？一个惊人的秘密，正将完全不知情的她逐步卷入……。现代都市商业奇旅，看他如何平步青云。。
