While we found that 98% of the majority of cases Father Amorth handles are simply people who need to be under the care of mental health professionals, there is a troubling 2% who find their lives taking over. what the Father simply calls “demon.”
We also see that his peers are skeptical of his work, but nothing they say can shake Father Amorth as he briefs the most important man in Catholicism: the Pope. Sent on a special mission by his boss, we see the father acquire a disturbing possession involving a child. Although the local priest has done everything possible, the demonic entity that lives inside the boy will not let Father Amorth be the last option of salvation for the family.
