Phil and Aubrey were baseball teammates, friends, and had a secret romance. Joe, John, Jamie, and Dre all show up to exorcise and finally lay Aubrey to rest.

There’s an unwelcome guest at the door who comes in the form of Cookie, Joe’s long lost first love. She’s a powerful demon who reveals to Joe they have a child together, Lovie.
