Jane Morton (Carice van Houten) is a psychotherapist who has been summoned to a small island community off the coast of Ireland to investigate a case of a profoundly disturbed young woman. Dorothy Mills (Jenn Murray) is a teenager who strangled a young girl outside a church for no apparent reason; she`s being kept in the village hospital, where she displays a broad variety of bizarre and violent behavior. Jane soon diagnoses Dorothy as suffering from multiple personality disorder and attempts to sort out the various anti-social identities that battle for control of her mind. But Pastor Ross (Gary Lewis), head of the local church, has a different view of Dorothy`s problem - he`s convinced Dorothy has been possessed by the devil, and he believes an exorcism is the cure, not therapy. A number of Ross`s parishioners share his views and don`t want Jane imposing her big-city ways on them, even as the doctor is getting to the roots of Dorothy`s problems.
