A couple on their way to visit a friend in the country witness the murder of a man who was tormenting a young woman to the point where she took an axe and killed him. The friends put it down to photoleafsensory projection (hahaha) A fun attempt at a scientific explanation of the paranormal.

The friend's mother tries to pass on a ring to the young woman that contains a curse claiming it will only affect her own family, and that by taking it, she would be saving the family from a certain fate.

The couple flee from the house anxiously wanting to get away from the strangeness. On their way, the daughter appears on the road and convinces them to take the ring.

... which can only lead to bad things.

Events are a little too loosely strung together for my liking.
