Here we have a story that looks quite different. A woman named Sarah, a mother who is still not fully convinced of the behavior of her exciting little son, believes that there is an evil and possibly supernatural power that has overtaken him. It seems that it has gone beyond everything, as this woman still fears for the safety of her family. Sarah must choose between the instincts of the mother in love and her protection and the urgent need to investigate what or what is causing everything that happens. In the end, it seems that everything is going wrong and Sarah is still forced to look for answers in the past.
