A religious horror film that weaponizes supernatural dread to interrogate the psychological terror of patriarchal control and enforced purity culture.

Teen girls perform a secret ritual at a Purity Retreat and, when one of them begins to see a supernatural entity, the terrifying question becomes what is more dangerous: the demon they’ve unleashed, or the pressure of their controlling fathers.
