THE TWELFTH NAME

THE TWELFTH NAME
By Charmane Wedderburn

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE: When a grieving woman in Rome unlocks a forbidden ritual, she becomes the twelfth name in an ancient curse that binds angels and demons — and must risk her soul to sever the chain before it consumes her son.

SYNOPSIS:

IRome, a city layered with cathedrals, ruins, and secrets, hides a ritual older than the Church itself. For centuries, a list of eleven cursed names has marked those chosen to feed an ancient pact between heaven and hell. The twelfth name has never been spoken… until now. Mary, a woman broken by loss, stumbles into the ritual while searching for meaning. Her teenage son Jason becomes entangled, marked as the next vessel. As visions of demonic possession, angelic visitations, and blood-bound covenants unravel, Mary learns she is not just a victim but the missing link in a lineage of sacrifice. With the help of Vina, her fiercely loyal friend, Mary must battle forces both celestial and infernal. The Vatican hides its own stake in the curse, while the coven of eleven healer-women prepares for a final stand. In the shadows, the devil’s agent whispers promises of love, power, and release. To break the curse, Mary must face a choice as brutal as it is redemptive: surrender her name to save her son — or sever the ritual forever, at the cost of her humanity. The Twelfth Name is a supernatural horror thriller woven with faith, grief, and ancestral power — blending the poetic dread of Hereditary with the spiritual warfare of The Exorcist, set against the haunting grandeur of Rome.
