A gruesome murder is being investigated by a contingent of policemen. A man lies face down in his own home, and at first it appears as though the single cause of death is a broken neck. However the police soon discover a horrific truth-the man's brain has been removed...and is simmering in a kitchen pot. The clues at the crime scene are ambiguous and it is impossible to create a profile of the killer. A series of murders in which the victims' brains are presented in the same way continues to unfold. But while the investigators search for a malicious criminal, it is slowly dawning on one of them that a supernatural force may have been the single cause of this bizarre chain of deaths. A dark facet of the human psyche has descended from the future and must nest in the brain to survive. (official distributor synopsis)
