Overview

A heavy fog cuts a small isolated Scottish island from the mainland, and dentist Michael Gaffikin has just discovered a dismembered corpse on the golf links.

However, as the body count rises and the surrounding circumstances turn increasingly bizarre and gruesome, everyone begins to wonder if the perpetrator is a human or an unimaginable creature.
