Cari Lumis, a college student, suddenly falls very ill. Panicked, she calls her parents, who tell her to return home.

Eventually, a demonic man shows up to collect on the debt owed by the town, and Cari is forced to confront him.

Director Douglas Schulze was inspired by Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" and Michael Cunningham's novel The Hours.

[3] Annie Riordan of Brutal As Hell called it "a watered down version of 'The Lottery' that doesn't deserve its stars.

[4] Gordon Sullivan of DVD Verdict wrote that the film is too ambitious but is worth a rental for fans of the actors.
