A 2000-year-old myth from West Africa is the inspiration for this movie. In this tradition, people would use nail fetishes to seal bargains or make solemn oaths, with the promise maker driving a nail into a fetish crafted by a local shaman. The story takes place in modern-day Chicago, where a mysterious statue arrives at a law firm. Three attorneys are drawn into the supernatural influence of the entity, and things take a deadly turn when one of them is killed. The founding partner, Bernard Gregory, must unravel the mystery, which leads him to discover that his 14-year-old daughter has made a sacred oath by driving a nail. The lives of those Bernard loves hang in the balance as he decides what to do next.
