In un quartiere tranquillo, in una casa dotata di tutti i moderni comfort, una ragazzina modello cade ammalata. La madre non può aiutarla. I medici non riescono ad elaborare una diagnosi. Temendo che le crisi di cui soffre la figlia non riguardino solo la sfera fisica, ma anche quella spirituale, la donna si rivolge a un sacerdote. L'uomo però dubita della presenza del diavolo in quella casa, in quel corpo e la debolezza delle sue convinzioni non farà altro che rendere più forte il maligno.
