The premise

Unable to process the death of his daughter, Detective Boyd embarks on a hunt for a serial killer who murders according to a brutal tribal ritual: Muti. The only person who can help Boyd is Professor Mackles, an anthropologist who hides an unspeakable secret. The line between sanity and madness thins as Boyd goes deeper into the killer’s world.

Horror Vault's take

When a series of savage killings tied to the ancient African practice of Muti lands on Detective Boyd's desk, it becomes personal in ways that go far beyond the badge. Haunted by his own tragedy, Boyd must form an uneasy alliance with an enigmatic anthropologist whose knowledge of these brutal rites runs deeper than comfort allows. As the investigation pulls him closer to a world of dark ritual and primal terror, the cost of the truth may be his own sanity.
