description: On a damp October night 24-year-old Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley's life and death McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary reclusive cult-horror film director Stanislaus Cordova--a man who hasn't been seen in public for more than thirty years. For McGrath another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova's dark and unsettling films very little is known about the man himself. Driven by revenge curiosity and a need for the truth McGrath with the aid of two strangers is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova's eerie hypnotic world. The last time he got close to exposing the director McGrath lost his marriage and his career. This time he might lose even more.
