Synopsis

From the moment Lana sees the mummy of the incredibly handsome Prince Nefra at the Egyptian exhibit, she gets an eerie feeling. She is unexplainably drawn to him when she hears him whisper, "Come back, my princess! Come back!" One misty night she sees the mummy in the park, chanting the same mysterious words and reaching toward her. Lana knows it's impossible. The mummy has been dead for thousands of years. Soon Lana is shrouded in a web of horror and longing that traps her between fantasy and reality. Who is really hidden behind the mummy's gray, musty gauze? And why is he terrorizing Lana?
