A lurid 1980s horror-thriller that blends demonic possession, graphic violence, and sexual transgression into an exploitation-driven narrative centered on voodoo terror and marital chaos.

A Miami cop finds out his wife has a female lover, so he starts crashing on the couch of his female partner. Meanwhile, a voodoo demon from Africa arrives among Miami's Nigerian community and begins decapitating some people and possessing others.
