Summaries

Plot Summary

Many years after the Rapture, the remaining human survivors on earth are plagued by the Burned Ones, demonic humanoid creatures who are drawn to and prey upon human flesh and blood. Azrael and her lover, Kenan, are ousted from a forest-dwelling cult who believe that speech is a sin, and whom have surgically removed their vocal cords to cease speaking. Josephine, one of the cult's leaders, captures and separates the couple with the help of her henchman. The cultists attempt to sacrifice Azrael to the Burned Ones, but Azrael manages to escape, killing one of the henchmen in the process.Azrael flees through the woods and infiltrates the cult's fenced encampment, where a woman named Miriam leads the cult as a spiritual interpreter, believing the wind speaks God's will, and listening to it through a hole in the wall of a ramshackle church. Azrael is discovered by Josephine and narrowly escapes the encampment. Late that night, Azrael stumbles upon a road where a man in a truck offers her a ride, but the vehicle crashes after a cultist shoots and kills the driver. After a protracted battle, Azrael manages to kill the cultist with his own rifle.In the woods, Azrael finds Kenan nailed to a tree, only to be caught in a booby trap by one of the cultists, leaving her dangling upside down by a rope. Several of the Burned Ones descend on the scene and attack and kill the cultist before also killing Kenan. Azrael manages to hoist herself onto a tree, hanging and killing one of the Burned Ones in the process.Azrael returns to the encampment and confronts Miriam in the church. Azrael prepares to execute her, but pauses when noticing that Miriam is pregnant, allowing Miriam a moment to attack. Miriam incapacitates her, causing Azrael to scratch Miriam's pregnant stomach as she falls to the floor. At Josephine's behest, the cultists bury Azrael in a coffin connected to a tunnel where a Burned One descends upon her, but the creature stops and backs away after it senses Miriam's blood on Azrael's hand.Enraged, Azrael manages to climb out of the buried casket and return to the encampment, lighting it on fire and assassinating the members of the group one by one. In the church, she confronts Miriam, and a fight ensues in which Azrael bites into Miriam's neck, severely injuring her. Miriam goes into labor while an injured Josephine comes to her aid, attacking Azrael. Azrael drives a cleaver into Josephine's neck, mortally wounding her just as the cries of Miriam's newborn baby are heard. Miriam recoils in horror from the child before slitting her own throat. Azrael approaches the newborn, which is revealed to be a goat-like creature resembling the Antichrist. As the Burned Ones enter the church, they all begin to wail, as Azrael stands holding Miriam's baby.
