Plot

Los Angeles attorney Jeff Mills and his friend Derek Clayton rescue a young beautiful woman, Miranda Reed, from an apparently abusive boyfriend. As Miranda has no home, Jeff offers to let her stay at his. Jeff becomes more and more involved with Miranda and the web of intrigue that follows her. As the two became lovers, Jeff learns that Miranda has been eluding a witches' coven (to which she belongs).

The coven seeks Miranda as a sacrifice at the winter solstice. She must come to them of her own free will, however, so the coven uses sorcery to taunt and terrify the Miranda and Jeff. Miranda tells Jeff of her situation, but not the entire truth, and Jeff willingly helps Miranda out of her troubles as he creates his own.
