Emily's worst fears are confirmed when the parents, Margaret (Kerry O'Malley) and Edward Sullivan (Callum Keith Rennie) try to kill Lilith, their only daughter in a late night ritual. Emily intervenes and saves her. But Emily takes a personal interest in Lilith and decides to take her in herself until the right foster family comes along.
Then the real horror begins...
