The Assent

The Assent

Father Lambert spent eight years in prison because of an unsuccessful exorcism rite, during which the boy died. Now he is looking for redemption for the sin he committed. So he found a young single father, Joel Clark, whose family had nothing but a curse hanging over it. His wife recently died, and his young son suffers from nightmares. Father Lambert is convinced that this house has been taken over by the ancient demon of destruction, Abaddon, who can hide under different guises. An exorcism must be performed to drive out the devil and save the boy. Only after starting to do this, the priest will understand how deeply the demon has taken root and how difficult it will be to expel it.
