As he walks through the gloomy woods, young Juan witnesses a horrible sight: a gang of murderous bandits attacking a helpless friar. But there's more to the monk than meets the eye. Seeking refuge in the boy's secluded mansion, ruled with an iron fist by widowed Countess Doña Carlota, the mysterious priest soon becomes embroiled in a chilling story of black magic, where no one is safe from the clutches of pure evil. And then, as a grotesque mix of potent lust and creeping dread latches onto the villa's residents, sudden illness befalls Beatriz, the lady's sad-eyed daughter. Now, superstition, fear, and sheer suspicion chill the bone to the marrow, inviting unbridled violence. Could the manor's cryptic guest be an agent of darkness itself?
