Synopsis

In an isolated religious community ruled by men the Pastor’s daughter, Magpie, murders her abusive husband. In the process, she unleashes a malevolent force – a Beast with shimmering white eyes and a taste for foul men.
Suspicion and paranoia grip the community, and accusations are thrown at Magpie. The Pastor is unable to bring her back into ‘The Truth’, as the Beast’s allure takes its hold over her. When the Beast leaves a trail of gruesome carnage, a brutal witch hunt begins and the community spirals into darkness.
