The last thing newly-widowed Maggie O'Connor wants is the responsibility of a baby. But when her heroin-addict daughter Jenna abandons new-born Cody, Maggie's maternal instincts and love prevail. Three years later, an impeccably groomed Jenna complete with her new wealthy husband Eric Vannier returns to claim her daughter. On Maggie's first visit to Cody in the new home, the child is vacant-eyed, subdued and fearful. The police cannot act - until an anonymous caller reveals the Vannier's link to a Satanic cult. Then an ancient prophecy begins to turn to reality, and suddenly there is more at stake than little Cody's sanity and safety.
