An unremarkable existence had been ripped apart with callous cruelty; Victoria Stoner and daughter, Samantha, are condemned to broken, traumatised lives. Plagued by nightmares of such intensity, Victoria fears they are visions of a past buried deep in her tortured psyche. A desperate need to burrow into the surreal confusions of her troubled mind, propels her through the savage history of a blood-line too tainted and shocking to believe. As she is drawn ever closer to the birth of an undefined curse that has stalked her family tree, Victoria is led along a precarious path of discovery by an aged psychologist, best not underestimated, and an enigmatic, little 'Wise-Woman', who features large in the inexplicable events crowding in around her. Her quest to expose her bloody roots becomes intrinsically entangled with a struggle to combat an invasive and corrupt enterprise, threatening to steal away what little remains of their former, happy lives. A final, defiant stand, aided by spectral forces against a malevolent foe, throws them into a merciless confrontation that forges a circle of predetermined fate in the devouring flames of ancient wrath.
