Plot summary
Professor Isla Whelan and her assistants are cataloging artifacts in a university basement. Her estranged daughter Shayla Whelan discovers a hidden space behind a wall, and inside it a box holding a severed head. The group takes the remains for those of a deformed person or an animal. Then the head screams, and everyone nearby bleeds from the ears. The artifact belongs to a banshee, and by the old mythology that leaves them doomed to die. Their one hope is Broderick Duncan, a discredited professor of Irish mythology.
