Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Standered slasher movie that has the new deputy in town, or in in this case on the island, Jack Gales, David Keith,confronted with not just the suspected suicide of a local Catholic school girl Gwen, April Telek, but the disappearance of some dozen other Catholic school girl students over the last ten years from the same school!

Jack trying to get a handle on what's happening is stymied by the Mother Superior, Pamela Perry, who want's to keep what's going on in her school under wraps and from the public. It's as if she's's hiding the real reason for all these mysterious incidents involving runaway as well as dead students in her school. It's later that Jack together with the Mother Superior's assistant soon to be nun Cristina Herrera, Alyssa Milano, uncover the truth about what's really behind all these disappearances as well as Gwen's suicide. This happens only after a number of other persons including student Suzy, Jennifer Copping,and the island's handsome and horny delivery boy Eric, Steve Bacic, end up becoming the unknown and unseen killers next victims.

***Spoiler from this point onwards*** Were given a number of suspects to who's behind all these ritual-like murders which turned out to be false leads resulting in the tragic suicide of the Catholic School's somewhat creepy Headmaster Mr. Gray, Peter Harlon. Jack together with Cristnia soon realize that with the sole exception of Gwen all the murdered and missing students had gone to confession and it was their confessions to sins that they committed that lead, as it later turned out, to their brutal murders!

The killer for once, in a made for TV suspense movie, came as a real surprise coming out of almost nowhere and then having it out with both Jack and Cristina who, like the audience, never saw him coming. The real reasons behind all this murder and carnage in the movie turned out to be a false sense of rightness on the part of the demented and crusade, in stomping out all the evil in he school, minded religious psycho. Mentally deranged and totally obsessed with his, or her, own sense of doing GOD's work the killer in fact was doing the work of the Devil instead. This was later reviled in what the killer, besides murdering, did to the victims of his ten year long rampage.
