A supernatural horror film centered on the accidental release of an ancient demon from a monastery's catacombs, blending religious dread with paranoia and existential threat.

In the 17th century, an order of monks in Italy capture and entomb a demon that has possessed a member of their group. 400 years later, school teacher Elizabeth Magrino visits the monastery in order to do some research. What she and the current monks do not realize is that the evil hiding within the catacombs has unwittingly been released.
