Betsy is a bit naive and is told a lot of strange tales about the area. At night she hears strange noises and discovers that Jessica is kept in a comatose state and considered a zombie, caught in limbo between life and death. To help the plantation owner, Betsy takes Jessica to the local voodoo shamans. They perform a ritualistic ceremony that incorporates a lot of dancing, great chanting/music and voodoo dolls.
