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].。知名电视节目主持人乔治与妻子安娜、儿子皮埃尔一家三口的平静生活被乔治从家门口捡来的录像带打破,这盒录像带显示有人静静地注视着乔治家的一举一动。很快,更多的录像带和恐吓性质的明信片寄到了乔治及家人手上。乔治对看不见的敌人殊为紧张,开始小心保护儿子,并且为录像带的内容指引,回想起多年以前,差点成为母亲养子的阿尔及利亚遗孤马吉德。乔治怀疑录像带的始作俑者即为马吉德,于是登门拜访,却引发了意外的结局……。
