When ambitious Doctor Paul Cl�ment takes a job at the mission hospital on Saint S�bastien, he has dreams of discovering cures for tropical diseases. What he finds is a place where the black arts are just a way of life. After witnessing the ritualistic murder of a young man, said to be one of the living dead, he is forbidden to speak of what he has seen.
