When a babysitter spends a night looking after Mason, she’s convinced his life is in danger and calls Father Lambert, a priest who performs exorcisms. As chilling occurrences unfold, the priest informs a resistant Joel that unless he can successfully perform an exorcism, a demon will soon take full control of his boy.
