Single mother and dedicated psychiatrist Cara Jessup centers her professional reputation on debunking the idea of multiple personality syndrome, until she encounters a criminal mental patient whose powers defy rational explanation. This eerie contact with evil shatters her world, turning a cynic into an embattled true believer. Following her father's mystifying sudden death, Cara intuits that her own daughter faces grave danger.
