At about the same time, a girl dies of an apparently serious illness. Mark Easterbrook is suspected of murdering the priest, as Mark's leather jacket and motorcycle were recognized by eyewitnesses. To prove his innocence, Mark, along with Kate, a friend of the deceased girl, sets out to unravel this mystery. The trail leads to three strange old ladies who seem to have knowledge of Voodoo. These 'witches' appear to have a suspicious influence on the mysterious accidents and mysterious illnesses that have taken place in the area.
