Synopsis/Details: 

Newly tenured art history professor Ryan Jacobs purchased what he thought was the find of a lifetime. After years of scouring antique stores and art auctions he finally found it, an authentic Greek Maiden statue.

Legend holds that the statue has the ability to influence whomever gazes upon its beauty. However, unbeknownst to Ryan, there’s a much darker history associated with the Greek Maiden.

When Ryan becomes the prime suspect after one of his female students suddenly turns up mutilated, he’s forced to put his attention toward the deadly history that hides within his precious statue if he’s to prove his innocence,

…and stop a killer.
