Phoebe Ling and Nathan Gibbons are in love. Their whirlwind romance is just about to
culminate in marriage when Phoebe Iinds herself running a last-minute errand at the
grocery store with her bridesmaids. Eager to make it to the church on time, the ladies bump
into a disheveled zombie of a woman on a mission. The others blow her off but Phoebe is
compelled to watch and wait; horrified as the woman’s violent suicide unfolds
Nearly catatonic, Phoebe Ling becomes Mrs. Nathan Gibbons.
The newlyweds each experience strange occurrences and visions; quickly finding
themselves struggling with the reality of their unplanned pregnancy. Nathan meets a pair of
artists with ties to the occult whose lack-luster gallery showing signals the end of his
business, and strengthens his resolve to have his pregnant wife to terminate the baby.
The excited mother-to-be moves forward with her pregnancy, bringing a beautiful baby into
the world. However, once their special-needs daughter is brought home, Phoebe and
Nathan are changed forever.
Extreme sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and intense postpartum depression turn the once
perky Phoebe into the walking dead. Fanning the flames of his newly discovered curiosity in
the occult and almost certain of their baby’s dark origins, Nathan tries to convince his wife
to wish the baby away by summoning an ancient demon.
After staving off her husband’s relentless attempts to convince her of her child’s evil nature,
Phoebe gives in during a moment of drunken weakness. The child is marked and the demon
takes her away from the struggling couple. Immediately upon the discovery of her baby’s
disappearance, Phoebe is filled with regret. She becomes consumed with the desire to find
the creature that took her child and will stop at nothing to get her daughter back.
Dark visitors appear, casting judgement and tormenting the couple until a discovery is
made that leads Phoebe and Nathan to the demon’s doorstep. Under the light of the full
moon, a repentant mother pleads for her daughter’s soul, in a trial unlike any other that has
been depicted in the world of horror.
