A shadowy, paranoia-soaked noir mystery about a young woman drawn into a satanic cult's web while searching for her missing sister in 1940s New York.

After young Mary Gibson discovers that her older sister Jacqueline has disappeared, she leaves her boarding school and heads to New York City to track down her sibling. But Mary gets drawn deeper into the mystery.
