A dark occult horror film centered on cosmic evil, demonic birth, and the summoning of ancient entities through forbidden knowledge and religious corruption.

In Louisiana, in the wicked Whateley House, Lavina delivers two babies whose fate is written. Ten years later, three scholars of the occult discover that one page of the “Necronomicon,” the unspeakable book, is missing and the Black Brotherhood has summoned the ancient gate keeper to free legions of evil gods and monsters from the dimension of chaos.
