In the 16th century, Elizabeth Bathory was the most powerful woman in Hungary. 650 young women are said to have died for the Countess's pleasure. In present-day New York, a descendant of the Countess is sent to Hungary to cover the collapse of communism. He uncovers something far more disturbing: his family's history.
