PlotLeah, a teenage girl in mourning over her father's recent death, becomes increasingly estranged from her mother. Struggling to cope with her grief and their strained relationship, Leah immerses herself in the occult. After a heated argument with her mother, she impulsively performs a dark ritual to summon a demonic entity in the hopes of getting rid of her mother. Initially, Leah doesn't believe the ritual will have any real consequences and tries to shake off the foreboding feeling that begins to envelop her.
Soon, however, strange and terrifying occurrences start to unfold around Leah and her mother. They experience eerie noises, unsettling apparitions, and a palpable sense of dread. As the once-skeptical Leah starts to believe in the power of her invocation, she grapples with mounting guilt and fears the irreversible consequences of her actions. With the malevolent presence growing stronger, Leah realizes she must find a way to stop what she has summoned before it destroys them both. The film follows her desperate attempts to undo the curse, blending psychological horror with supernatural elements.
