On July 1, 1987, Julia (Alex Essoe) and her children Amy (Laurel Marsden) and Henry (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney) arrive in Castile, Spain from the USA.…&nbspJulia lost her husband and ever since Henry has gone mute. Both he and Amy have also grown distant from her. Julia is in Castile to restore St. Sebastian’s Abbey. It belongs to her husband’s family and they aim to sell the property after restoration as this is their only way to raise money. The restoration process leads to the awakening of a demon hidden inside the abbey. Soon, the demon possesses Henry. Julia approaches a local priest, Father Thomas Esquibel (Daniel Zovatto). But the demon attacks him and insists that this is not the priest he wants to interact with. The news of Henry’s possession reaches the Pope. Meanwhile, in the Vatican, Father Gabriele Amorth (Russel Crowe), the Chief Exorcist of the Vatican, has been summoned after he performs an unauthorized exorcism at Tropea, Italy on June 4 of the same year. The panel is of the opinion that such acts can make the Church irrelevant and that it’s important to move on with modern times. The same day, the Pope (Franco Nero) asks Father Gabriele to head to Castile to help Henry. At the abbey, Father Gabriele meets the demon and realizes that it’s far more powerful than any other evil spirit he has come across. On top of that, the demon can correctly predict the guilt that Father Gabriele has been carrying for years. Father Gabriele believes he can defeat the demon but for that, he needs to know its name. But the demon knows the tricks of Father Gabriele and won’t divulge its true identity. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
