Daniel Pell, the leader of a dangerous cult, is serving a huge prison sentence for the murder of an innocent family. But one thought weighs on him: he didn’t “finish the job” and, by accident, left alive a little girl sleeping in the back room. The maniac is sure—he must complete his “mission.” He escapes from custody, leaving behind bodies of policemen.
