[edit] Synopsis

A young doctor stumbles into a strange town where the citizens fear and worship a lighthouse. The doctor offers to help a little sick girl. The mayor is against the idea, but her brother will try anything to get her healed. Slowly and surely, with the help of medicine, the young girl starts to get better. Everything is going well until one day the light from the lighthouse shines over the sick girl's room. Her mother and the rest of the town know what they must do. They must kill the girl or the god of the lighthouse will unleash an unholy plague over the city. The doctor is determined to stop this, but will he be the next victim of the lighthouse?
