The dark figure has chosen the Ward family as their next victim. Martha Ward is a religious fanatic. She drove her husband away and then her only daughter, and when her sister died in a car accident, she took in her niece Rebecca and tried to teach her the path of righteousness. Everyone in town refers to her as "Poor Rebecca" as they all believe the accident has left her mentally deficient, but really, it just removed her filter.

Years later, dumped, fired and pregnant, Rebecca's cousin, Andrea, has no choice but to return to the home she fled from the day she turned 18. Rebecca is thrilled and decides to buy a welcome home gift for her cousin. The dark figure makes sure that the gift Rebecca finds in a dragon-head lighter with ruby eyes. Andrea is only home for a few days before everything goes horribly wrong.

Needless to say, the dragon lighter is a bad, bad idea. Looks like tragedy is only getting started in this town.
