A deeply unsettling psychological thriller that uses religious delusion and childhood trauma to explore the blurred line between faith and madness, murder and salvation.

A mysterious man arrives at the offices of an FBI agent and recounts his childhood: how his religious fanatic father received visions telling him to kill people who were in fact "demons."
