The Mummy: Palimpsest

Once every generation, members of the sinister Sect of Anubis gather to drink the blood of a human sacrifice, used as a vessel to contain the imprisoned spirit of a long dead Egyptian High Priestess called, Nebetah and thereby prolong their evil lives for another 34 years.

Now the time draws near for the next sacrifice and the Sect’s chosen victim, a young Ukranian woman called Angel, has escaped their clutches and is on the run somewhere in London. However the process that will see her become Nebetah has already begun and she is slowly transforming into a rotting mummy as the spirit of Nebetah consumes her soul.

Meanwhile, an ultra secret society, called the Pyramid Club, who are sworn to eradicate the evil of the Sect of Anubis are determined to rescue Angel before the Sect can find her and finish off their ritual. But now Ammit, the demon hell-hound, who guards the Ancient Egyptian Land of the Dead, has arrived to balance the books by either dragging Nebetah and Angel back to the afterlife or the Sect of Anubis. Either way there must be a reckoning!
