Howard Hansen is a successful novelist who lives quite comfortably with his wife Peggy. His latest novel, a horror story, should be very popular. There’s one problem: Howard has writer’s block. Out of desperation, Howard buys an ancient Chinese dragon statue. He hopes it will give him the inspiration to make the words flow again. Unfortunately, instead of inspiring, the statue weaves an evil web of lust and menace, turning his humble home into a den of violence and murder.
