In Siam, American tourists Sam and Anne purchase an eerie artifact—the hand of the god Sivak—only to find it comes to life with deadly intent. After a chilling sequence of events that begins with the vendor’s gruesome death, the hand is mailed home by Anne, setting off a trail of terror across the ocean. On the voyage, a mysterious stranger hunts for the hand, and when he learns it’s not in Sam’s possession, he casts him overboard. Back in the States, Anne is met by a fellow passenger named Kavis, who reveals a terrifying truth: he is Sivak himself, and the hand is finally complete.
