Nearly 200 years ago the residents of Montego Bay, Jamaica, killed a woman whom they believed was a witch with incredibly evil powers. They had called her Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall.

As she was dying she promised to return for vengeance.

She kept that promise and nearly 200 years later, descendants of those involved are being murdered. Local authorities realize they are up against a supernatural force and ask the U.S. for help. The Special Forces Intervention Team, a super-secret black-ops unit known only to a select few, arrives to find the cause and if necessary destroy it. Each member of the team has their own set of skills to deal with the unknown.

The questions they have to answer are: Is it Annie Palmer or something else and why now?

What follows is an epic struggle between good and evil and the chance that life as we know it, may not survive.
