An ancient secret threatens to unleash the
powers of darkness on a group of modern prep school students when the sole
survivor of a cursed bloodline returns to lay claim to the powers denied
to him centuries ago in a supernatural teen thriller from director Renny
Harlin and screenwriter J.S.Cardone. The story begins in 1692, when five
families from the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts formed a covenant of
silence that would forever protect their remarkable powers. One family
went too far, though, and as a result of their transgression they were
forever banished from the land. Flash forward to the new millennium and
the four Sons of Ipswich are now the student elite at the prestigious Spenser
Academy. Bound by their sacred ancestry and sworn to silence, these four
teens share a secret so remarkable that it has served to protect their
families for hundreds of years. The past has a way of coming back when
you least expect it though, and when the fifth Son of Ipswich returns seeking
to harness the powers denied him in the past, the battle is on to ensure
the safety of The Covenant and lay the one descendent who threatens to
reveal their secret to rest once and for all.
