is a supernatural horror film directed by Alejandro Hidalgo that attempts to subvert the classic possession genre by centering on a priest with a dark, sinful past. Set in a remote Mexican village, the story explores the consequences of a botched exorcism from eighteen years prior that left the protagonist, Father Peter Williams, harboring a devastating secret. Core Premise & Plot

The film opens in 2003 with Father Peter Williams (Will Beinbrink) performing an unauthorized exorcism on a young woman named Magali. During the ritual, the demon Balban manipulates Peter’s desires, leading him to commit a "terrible sacrilege"—sexual assault while under a brief moment of possession.

Eighteen years later, Peter is revered as a saint for his charity work in Mexico, yet he remains haunted by his past. He is called to help a young woman, Esperanza, who is possessed by the same demon. Peter soon discovers a personal connection to Esperanza and realizes the demon's ultimate goal is to claim his soul through a forced confession and a choice between his faith and the lives of those he loves.
