Plot Summary

Eric, an addict with a troubled childhood, struggles with life and nightmares at a rehabilitation center. Shelly, a musician with similar issues, receives a video-text from her friend Zadie that incriminates Vincent Roeg, a crime lord posing as a musical aristocrat. Choosing to save the video, despite knowing that possessing it would mean her death, Shelly attempts to go into hiding but is immediately pursued by Roeg's henchmen. They break their pursuit when Shelly is arrested for drug possession.Zadie is captured and interrogated by Roeg. He reveals that, centuries ago, he had made a pact with the devil to send innocents souls to Hell in exchange for eternal life. He forces Zadie to kill herself by whispering incantations in her ear. Shelly is sent to the same rehab center where Eric is situated. The two become smitten with each other and bond over time. When Marian, Roeg's right-hand, suddenly appears at the institution, Shelly panics and convinces Eric to help her escape. They take refuge in the vacant home of one of Shelly's friends, and the two quickly fall in love and attempt to live a carefree life together, but are soon found by Roeg's men and murdered.Eric awakens in a purgatory-like rail yard where Kronos, a spirit guide, explains that Eric will have to kill Roeg to be reunited with Shelly. Revived and possessing the ability to heal from injuries, Eric visits Sophia, Shelly's mother, who was present with Marian at the rehab center. Sophia reveals that she made a deal with Roeg: wealth in exchange for Shelly's soul. After Eric leaves, Roeg visits Sophia to inquire about Eric but forces her to jump off the roof when dissatisfied with her answers. Eric proceeds to hunt down and kill several of Roeg's men and finds Shelly's phone with the incriminating video revealing that Roeg had previously forced Shelly to kill a woman. Suddenly doubting his love for Shelly, Eric loses his ability to heal and is again killed. Returned to the afterlife, Eric makes a deal with Kronos to take Shelly's place in Hell in exchange for another chance to kill Roeg.Roeg learns of Eric's supernatural abilities and orders Marian to lure him to them in order to seize Eric's powers. Eric tracks Marian to an opera house, savagely killing all of Roeg's men to reach her. Marian reluctantly discloses Roeg's location before Eric decapitates her. Roeg manages to subdue Eric and attempts to steal his powers before Eric is able to transport them both to the afterlife, where he quickly finishes Roeg and saves Shelly's soul.After a brief reunion between the lovers, Shelly is revived on the night of their deaths and mourns for Eric after Kronos, disguised as a medic, tells her that he gave his life for her. Eric accepts his fate, content in his belief that their souls will one day find each other again.

Storyline

Soulmates Eric (Skarsgård) and Shelly (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of Shelly's dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right in this modern re-imagining of the 1994 cult classic. Eric and Shelly, broken kindred spirits yearning to start over, find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. As fatal bullets sever the star-crossed lovers' ties with the mortal world, Eric gets a second chance at love and redemption when supernatural forces grant him unlimited power. But second chances are hard to come by; Eric must pay in blood to save all he holds dear. With revenge etched on his mind, the grim avenger embarks on an otherworldly quest to right a wrong, whatever the cost. And now, the Crow has some loose ends to tie up. — Nick Riganas
