Artemisia, a young novice nun, is sent to a remote convent to oversee its dormant magic. But when she arrives, she finds the cloistered sisters rattled by strange occurrences - doors slamming, objects moving on their own. Artemisia soon realizes that the convent harbors a dark secret: an ancient evil has awoken, and it will stop at nothing to possess the sacred site. Pitted against this malevolent force, Artemisia must harness her fledgling powers to protect the sisters and banish the spirits once and for all.
