Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。居住在福建沿海的爱钦（林爱琴饰）为了改善家里的生活，决定偷渡国外打工。她举债40万元，经过疲累不堪且胆战心惊的长途跋涉，她终于来到了英国。然而，生活的艰辛是她如何也想象不到的。作为偷渡客，他们无法找到体面、待遇优渥的工作，等待他们的只有高强度、高危险性、低报酬的岗位。爱琴咬紧牙关，辛勤工作，和工友们苦中作乐。 警方的突击检查截断了这群黑工的后路，万般无奈之下，他们被迫驱车赶往莫克姆海湾拾贝。当地的青年们对中国人心存不满，他们处处刁难，甚至大打出手。于是工头只好带着劳工躲开英国人的时间，专门在涨潮到来之前下海拾贝。但是，此举无疑将自己的生命交到了死神的手中…… 本片根据真实事件改编，荣获2006年圣•塞巴斯蒂安团结奖。。
