It tells the story of Pancake Marion, an 18th-century Witch, who was burned alive for her 'blasphemous' ways. Her evil spirit returned whenever a protective flower (planted to keep her at bay) had wilted, or was picked by local children.
A young girl finds the flower, and thus begins a 22-minute hell ride into your darkest fears.
