Synopsis

A mysterious serial killer is killing female students on and off a college campus in Oklahoma, and the only clues are gold medallions left by the bodies. A grizzled police detective, Ron, sets out to find the killer, but the hunter becomes the hunted when he sees that no one around him can be trusted, not even his daughter. The detective is unaware that all the killings lead to a secret society that worships the god "Canis" and offers human sacrifices.
