QUICK TAKE:
Horror: A young woman hires two young exorcists to determine if her locked-away mother is mentally ill or demonically possessed.
PLOT:
It's 2009 and Isabella Rossi (FERNANDA ANDRADE) is a young woman who has traveled to Rome with documentary filmmaker Michael (IONUT GRAMA) to determine if her locked-away mother, Maria (SUZAN CROWLEY), is mentally ill or demonically possessed. Ten years ago, she murdered two priests and a nun who were trying to perform an exorcism on her. The Vatican has refused to do anything with Maria and thus she's heavily sedated in a nearby mental hospital. Isabella goes to meet her there, but the woman acts in such a way that makes her daughter seek out some experts in the field.

She manages to get exorcist Ben (SIMON QUARTERMAN) and ordained priest David (EVAN HELMUTH) to look into her case as they try to help out people the Church won't in such regards. With the discovery that Maria might be possessed by multiple demons -- a hazardous condition as sometimes they'll jump into other people -- the duo set out to free the woman from her demonic entrapment, all while Isabella worries and Michael captures everything on multiple video cameras.
