Peter Balsam has come to the sleepy desert town of Neilsville to teach its youth, and finds a mystery of mounting horror. Something is happening th the young girls of St. Francis Xavier High School--something evil. In bloodlet and terror a suicide contagion has swept the town...while a dark order of its holy men enacts a secret medieval ritual. Is hysteria manipulating these innocent children into violent self-destruction? Or has a supernatural force, a thirteenth-century madness, returned to punish the sinners.
