Plot

Chris (Christopher McDonald) is an archaeologist who has nightmares about the murder of his family, which occurred when he was a child, while the family was living in the ruins of a European monastery, while his father sought the tomb of Prince Elok, a ten year old prince who was obsessed with torture and worshiped a Slavic demon. Chris decides to return to the site and continue the search with his girlfriend Jenny (Lisa Aliff), a magazine editor who funds the effort in order to cover the story. Chris quickly begins to experience delusions such as the return of an imaginary friend from his childhood, Daniel (Aron Eisenberg).

In the meantime, the mental patient who had been wrongly accused of the murder of the family, Roman Hart (Vincent Schiavelli) also shows up in the town near the ruins, seeking revenge. Ultimately Chris recovers his memories of the murder of his family and discovers Prince Elok's chambers, causing the demonic Prince to reappear as a monster.
