Brie Benson works as a receptionist at a life insurance company, surviving each day through careful compartmentalization since her parents died. Her routine shatters when she stays late one evening and witnesses something impossible: her attractive, stern boss Luke performing an exorcism on Debra from accounting. Luke swears Brie to silence and explains that he comes from a family of demon hunters. Demonic incidents are increasing across the city. When Brie's closest coworker disappears, she refuses to accept the loss. She pushes Luke to include her in the rescue operation, despite his reluctance. The mission requires them to enter hell itself, accessible through an entrance located in Times Square. Brie and Luke descend into a nightmarish corporate underworld filled with monsters and endless red tape. They must locate their missing colleague while working to seal a growing tear between dimensions. Time runs short as their personal feelings complicate the mission and hell threatens to trap them permanently.
