Director John Schlesinger ventures elegantly into supernatural territory with the tale of Cal Jamison, a recently widowed police psychologist, who is forced to deal with a series of ritualistic child murders apparently perpetrated by a malevolent rogue branch of a Caribbean cult religion. As the cult's connections to corporate oligarchs begin to emerge, the lives of Cal and those around him are put at terrible risk.
