A mid-century horror mystery built on paranoia and supernatural dread, where an ancient curse transforms a family funeral into a mounting nightmare of mutilation and doom.

Jonathan Drake, while attending his brother's funeral, is shocked to find the head of the deceased is missing. When his brother's skull shows up later in a locked cabinet, Drake realizes an ancient curse placed upon his grandfather by a tribe of South American Jivaro Indians is still in effect and that he himself is the probable next victim.
