Storyline
Within the serene confines of an academic library, John Eldred enlists the assistance of young Mr. Garrett in his quest for what appears to be an obscure Hebrew text. Yet, there is an unusual quality to this book, and Eldred’s motives are not entirely scholarly. As Garrett embarks on his pursuit of the Tractate Middoth, it triggers chilling apparitions and an ominous threat from beyond the grave.

“Great books don't make great movies. There's too much information in there.”
