At an archeological dig in Israel, the restless spirit of the witch Tamar escapes the urn in which it has been imprisoned for 400 years - a practitioner of Kabbalist black magic. She has found the one vessel through which she can regain her malign powers - the virgin child-woman Leah who has accompanied her father on the dig. But there is one force Tamar must destroy - a modern day warlock armed with the one weapon that can stop her.
