Come face to face with The Secret Sect that has emerged from the dark past and now walks the night. Experience the superstitions, rituals, and witchcraft of the killers known as The Leopard Men, as history repeats itself in an orgy of ritual murders and blood lust.

The Night is dark. There is no moon in the sky as the night creatures move about the jungle of the Congo Basin. Another creature moves among them.
The edge of the jungle opens onto a small clearing. A foot path leads towards the hut, the flicker of a candle in the window casts a shadow.
The visitor watches and waits. He is patient as is the way of his kind. The door to the hut opens and a woman emerges. She moves up along the path directly towards the watcher, unaware of being observed.
With a shriek of an attacking leopard, the watcher rises from the darkness and launches itself at her. The woman screams in terror but help will not come. Her family are huddled together, safe in the hut. None will venture out for fear of what is hidden by the darkness.
Day reveals the scene of her death. The ground and bushes around her body are covered in her blood. Her badly mutilated corpse and the spoor around her pay testimony to her killer. The leopard has once again claimed a victim.
