Set in 1953, this made-for-cable-TV film is another takeoff on the McCarthy era. Witchcraft and magic are commonplace and Senator Larson Crockett (Eric Bogosian) is holding hearings on this threat to the American way of life. Meanwhile, private investigator Lovecraft (Dennis Hopper) is hired to investigate an infidelity case. When the subject is a victim of a magic spell, Lovecraft, who is one of the few who refuse to use magic, must get to the bottom of the conspiracy before his employer (the victim's wife) is burned at the stake.
