Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC): Inexplicable burning of a living or recently deceased human being without an identified source of ignition.

Defying the known laws of physics and plausible medical explanation, SHC is as rare as it is puzzling. Is it a natural phenomenon or a consequence of an ancient curse?
The Ellis family, unknowingly trapped by their ancestral past, now battle both to survive. Any female born of the family line faces a fiery death in their early thirties.
William Ellis, patriarch, enlists help once he learns of the curse afflicting his family. Can a three-hundred-year-old judgment be set aside before it’s too late?
