Robert Thorn e sua moglie Kathryn non riescono ad avere un figlio, la moglie ha avuto già due gravidanze interrotte e anche questa volta è andata male: il loro figlio è nato morto. La moglie è ancora incosciente e prima che si risvegli Padre Spiletto suggerisce all'uomo di adottare un bambino appena nato che per la donna sarà suo figlio, Damien. Trascorrono cinque anni e alcuni accadimenti bizzarri insospettiscono l'uomo, che lentamente scoprirà di essere vittima di una congiura. La baby sitter durante i festeggiamenti del quinto compleanno del bimbo si impicca davanti a lui.
