What happens when psychiatry collides with the supernatural? A woman diagnosed with schizophrenia insists she is possessed by the Devil. This is her story.
What happens when your doctors won’t believe what you tell them? In a psychiatric hospital a disturbed young woman believes she is possessed by the Devil; the psychiatrists tell her she’s mentally ill. When she asks for an exorcism, they insist she takes medication, but it doesn’t help. Caught in the middle is Edward Plant, a trainee psychiatrist whose life is one long party; trivial and purposeless – until he is drawn irresistibly into this case. When he meets an extraordinary woman who shows him that in order to receive love he must learn to give love, he begins to doubt the certainties that once ruled his world. Against the teaching of his mentors, Edward confronts the possibility that demonic possession may be a real phenomenon – with terrible consequences.
