Geoff Armstrong (Andre Jacobs) and his wife Elizabeth (Jenilee Harrison) run a large sugar plantation in East Africa in the 1950s. When Elizabeth and her sister interrupt the sacrifice of a goat by the local tribes people, the entire family becomes the focus of a curse placed by the local witch doctor, who calls forth an ancient demon from the sea to seek revenge on his behalf. As members of her family begin to disappear, seemingly victims of the ancient creature brought on by the curse and now living in their sugar cane, Elizabeth asks for help from Dr. Pearson (Christopher Lee) in the hope he may know a way to break the curse. The only way to break the curse is for Elizabeth to lure the Witch Doctor in a sugar cane field fire, where he perishes and the demon is destroyed, lifting the curse. However, the next morning Dr. Pearson discovers a bloody Panga on the beach and wonders if the monster was responsible for the deaths.
