James D'Ampton returns to his country castle in England. Legend has it that James's distant ancestor once slayed the local dragon - a monstrous white worm with a fondness for the sweet flesh of virgins. The young lord dismisses the legend as folklore, until archaeology student Angus Flint explores James's property and unearths a massive reptilian skull and a pagan snake god's ancient site of worship.

When James's virtuous girlfriend, Eve Trent, suddenly disappears, James and Angus set out to investigate the foreboding cavern said to be the worm's lair, here a centuries-old mystery begins to uncoil.
