A dark, visceral revenge-horror film centered on a malevolent nun's brutal murders of her former victims, built on sustained tension and graphic violence.

Years ago, a cruel and merciless nun turned a boarding school into a living hell for her students until they could no longer bear the abuse, and she mysteriously disappeared. Now the alumnae are being brutally murdered one by one.
