RésuméIt is New Jersey, 1905, and Annabel Slade's wedding preoccupies all of Princeton society - amongst them University president Woodrow Wilson and Upton Sinclair, controversial author of The Jungle. But after a savage lynching is hushed up, a malevolent spirit takes hold of the community. Monstrous visions are encountered; women are seduced and damned; a bloodlust rages in the guilty and innocent alike and slowly it becomes apparent that a diabolical curse has them all in its grip. In this fantastically macabre epic, the Devil has come to town and not a soul will be spared.
