Michaela growing up in a deeply religious home leaves her family to secure her first taste of freedom.  Her new friendships and budding love for Stefan and her new friendships crack open her protective shell resulting in a breakdown, causing a frightening rush of grotesque faces and voices.  Michaela seeks help from a priest who reinforces her conviction that she is possessed.  The dense religious and moral ties within her family leave her no option but to succumb to her fate.
