A dark, paranoia-soaked medieval mystery that pits rational skepticism against supernatural dread, leaving the nature of evil deliberately unresolved.

Mateho, an officer of the Inquisition and rational man of science, visits a remote monastery to investigate a bizarre murder of a monk. And you guessed it: something evil is afoot. But is the terror man-made or the result of witchcraft?
