Storyline

In Minnesota in the 1990s, a man is arrested and accused of having abused his daughter. Although he doesn't remember anything from the event, he pleads guilty. With the help of a psychologist, he'll relive those moments. Meanwhile, the local media hints the possibility that everything could have been a satanic cult's doing. — CarlosERM Against the backdrop of a seemingly endless string of mysterious incidents of satanic ritual abuse in 1990s America, the experienced small-town Minnesota detective, Bruce Kenner, is summoned to investigate the baffling case of the seventeen-year-old runaway girl, Angela Gray. Based on her handwritten letter of unsubstantiated statements, the prime suspect and Angela's father, John, confesses to the hideous crime, even though he has no recollection of his action. With the aid of the expert British psychiatrist, Professor Kenneth Raines, Kenner starts to delve deeper and deeper into the foggy landscape of fluid memories, as the doctor's regressive therapy unearths terrifying traces of occultism. Will John remember what truly happened? Is Bruce the next victim? — Nick Riganas Minnesota, 1990. Detective Bruce Kenner investigates the case of young Angela, who accuses her father, John Gray, of an unspeakable crime. When John unexpectedly and without recollection admits guilt, renowned psychologist Dr. Raines is brought in to help him relive his memories and what they discover unmasks a horrifying nationwide mystery. — yusufpiskin It's 1990 in Hoyer, MN. Taking refuge at her church led by Reverend Beaumont to escape from her family of her father, John Gray, and paternal grandmother, Rose Gray, seventeen year old Angela Gray has accused John of having molested her. Both John and Rose were alcoholics, the reason his son, Angela's older brother Roy Gray, ran away to places unknown, and John's wife left him, with suspicions that John ultimately killed her although her death was ruled accidental. To repent for his alcoholism, John has since become evangelical. In custody, John admits to having indeed molested Angela, but he has no memory of it. In addition to lead police investigator Bruce Kenner, Psychology Professor Kenneth Raines is brought in as a consultant to perform memory-recovery therapy on John to bridge that gap between his belief and whatever is reality. Leading out of that therapy and a further discussion with Angela, Kenner and Raines ultimately come to believe that whatever happened to Angela was orchestrated by a satanic cult, something with which neither has any experience. Kenner in particular becomes more and more invested in the case, especially in feeling like he needs to be Angela's protector, and as such is arguably the most susceptible to the psychological aspects behind what happened to Angela. — Huggo
