Biography[]
Ruth Brooks was a nun who lived in southern California. She journeyed to the isolated town of Drago only to discover that the entire community was in the grip of a cult of Satanic werewolves. She tried to express her concerns to the local sheriff and the town physician, but ultimately, they were all involved in the cult.
The experience eventually drove Sister Ruth mad and she returned to her convent where she died a few days later. Her friend Janice Hatch traveled to Drago to learn the truth about what Sister Ruth had discovered. Sister Ruth’s ghost appeared before a woman named Marie Adams and drew her into the web of intrigue that eventually brought her to the werewolf coven.
