Flesh to touch...Flesh to burn! Don't keep the Wicker Man waiting!

Neil Howie, a devout police sergeant, voyages to the enigmatic Summerisle in search of a missing girl whose existence is denied by its inhabitants. As he delves into the mystery, Howie's rigid faith encounters the island's pagan traditions, a cultural divide that complicates his investigation. The film weaves a tense narrative of belief and disbelief, suspicion and ritual, culminating in a shocking confrontation that challenges the very nature of faith and the human capacity for deception.
