Despite her social status and lavish lifestyle, Connie is tortured by recurring visions of a dark, sinister force that threatens her, her husband, and their only daughter, a brooding teenager. Connie seeks out professional help from of a psychotherapist with highly unorthodox methods and mysterious motives, who helps her delve into a disturbing past that may, or may not, be real. A shocking scandal erupts in the small town of Duro, where a large, popular church with a charismatic preacher finds itself the focus of vicious, unspeakable rumors. A gentle and well-liked youth minister, suddenly finds himself a suspect for crimes and despicable acts he could never have imagined.
