Fifty years after the MacNeil possession shook the world, a new terror awakens in a small New England town. Father Michael Kearns, a weary priest with scars from past failures, is summoned when a series of inexplicable events grip a family. Their teenage daughter, Anna, begins speaking in ancient tongues, her voice bending and breaking into tones no human throat should form. Shadows twist unnaturally across her bedroom walls, and neighbors whisper of figures moving through the house when no one is home.
Haunted by the legends of Father Merrin and Father Karras, Kearns questions his faith. The Vatican sends Dr. Elise Rowan, a scholar of demonology, whose skepticism collides with his devotion. Together, they uncover something more horrifying than a single possession: the demon that once claimed Regan MacNeil has returned—not just for one soul, but for many.
As the evil spreads through the town like an infection, children vanish, and the church itself becomes a battleground. Kearns and Rowan must descend into a confrontation where faith, science, and human willpower collide. Every prayer is a weapon, every doubt a crack for the darkness to enter.
The battle is not just for Anna’s life, but for the legacy of those who once faced the same evil. To defeat it, they must embrace the past… and sacrifice everything for the future.
