Drawing on Balinese legend, this riveting horror story is chock-full of nightmarish sacrifices and grisly occult imagery. After being held as a suspected terrorist, Jesse longs to live unobtrusively in his new small-town home. He soon realizes, however, that he's the only one who can stop a raging, grieving teenage witch from unleashing an unspeakable evil. Jesse is an empathetic reluctant hero.
