A Hindu professor who is giving a lecture in the area on obscure music of the 1950s, Dr. Sarget Guryak, puts forth the theory that an ancient Hindu demon, the Rakshasa, a shape-shifter who can assume any form may be behind the killings. Guryak himself is murdered with a broken spine and fractured neck with his head turned completely around. Welcome to Central California, who's next?
