A small war between science and religion is waged over the fate of a mentally ill teen in this
thriller from writer and director
Agnes Merlet.
Jane Morton (
Carice van Houten) is a psychotherapist who has been summoned to a small island community off the coast of Ireland to investigate a case of a profoundly disturbed young woman.
Dorothy Mills (
Jenn Murray) is a teenager who strangled a young girl outside a church for no apparent reason; she's being kept in the village hospital, where she displays a broad variety of bizarre and violent behavior.
Jane soon diagnoses
Dorothy as suffering from multiple personality disorder and attempts to sort out the various anti-social identities that battle for control of her mind. But
Pastor Ross (
Gary Lewis), head of the local church, has a different view of
Dorothy's problem -- he's convinced
Dorothy has been possessed by the devil, and he believes an exorcism is the cure, not therapy. A number of
Ross's parishioners share his views and don't want
Jane imposing her big-city ways on them, even as the doctor is getting to the roots of
Dorothy's problems.
