A remote rural monastery inhabited by the monks of the mysterious Order of Pathicus is the site of a heinous murder, committed by a young novice, Anthony, upon another young novice, Florian, when his affections and sexual desires are not reciprocated. Flash forward twenty-five years – Father Anthony, now the head priest of the monastery, has maintained the secret of the murder, and the hiding place of Florian’s corpse. But all is not well: animal eviscerations, strange sounds in the night, and the presence of a strange “phantom goat” in the dark corridors forebode an evil presence. Add to this, the handsome young drifter, Sebastian who is found unconscious near the monastery.
