Ofelia Archer isn't a fan of change, even when it benefits her. That's why moving in with her boyfriend Zach Sully - even though it's temporary - has her constantly pacing. She's convinced it's because the space doesn't feel like her own, but it turns out to be more than that.
When leaving for work one day, Ofelia stumbles across a body hanging from the church belfry across the road. When she and Sully start asking questions, they find the church used to operate under a different name ... and a tragic fire sixty years before has left a tainted memory.
Ofelia is haunted - and not just by the ghostly nuns flitting through the church's windows - but also by a mystery that should've been solved decades before. The harder she digs, the more horror she finds.
It seems New Orleans has a demon on the loose, and the creature could be hiding behind any face. Ofelia is determined to take out the demon and free the neighborhood from torment, but when Sully becomes the demon's next target, her efforts are for naught.
Ofelia is loyal to a fault and willing to die for those she loves. She just might have to if she expects to keep Sully safe.
New Orleans is home to ghosts and goblins on every corner. This monster, however, might be more than the city's favorite witch can overcome.
