Teenaged Leah (Nicole Muñoz), who spends her free time dabbling in black magic and Satanism with her clique of friends. It's one way of avoiding a disastrous home life. Her mother (Laurie Holden) is falling part, locked in an unsuccessful battle with booze and depression, and lashing out in every direction. It doesn't help that adolescence isn't exactly an age known for hormonal equilibrium, or that Leah has inherited the matrilineal angst. When her mother abruptly moves them to a cabin in the countryside to escape her demons, an enraged Leah invites her own: she conjures the vindictive and unpredictable demon of the title.
