A new voice in Amanda’s head tells her to talk to strange men in bars, steal things, hurt people. As she struggles to wrest back control of her life, she discovers a book on demon possession that suggests that offers clues to what might be happening. As the violence of her erratic behavior increases, Amanda knows that she must act to put her life right, or see it destroyed.
