Punishment and isolation govern the lives of two young brothers raised in a strict religious community. When they break away and start a cult of their own, they move from hunting small animals in the forest to young women on the streets of the city. Follow their journey from dank musty cellars to eerie deconsecrated churches and remote forest settings.
As the investigation develops, they call in PI Harry Touchstone and his partner, Sabina Harris, to find the killers who leave disembowelled bodies with strange markings first in the north near a small town and then in the big city. To help the investigation, Spence Riley goes undercover with the help of a local prostitute named Red. The killers lead them from a dank musty cellar to an eerie deconsecrated church to remote forest settings as they practice their obsessive fusion of sex and blood.
