The story

Salem is an inmate of an insane asylum, having been forced to take an insanity plea when wrongly convicted of murdering a farmhand. After two years of confinement, Salem escapes from the fortress-like asylum in the dead of winter and heads for the family farm, which is now run by his younger sisters Emmie and Ester and the latter's husband, Dr Anton Jenks, who had accused Salem of the murder. For revenge, Salem kills the people he believes responsible for his confinement.
