A painting depicting the events of 'The Temptation of Christ', where Satan tormented Jesus Christ in the desert haunts a boy, Samuel Morgan. The boy's prior involvement in the occult with Alan Wilson, an insane satanic scientist, has transferred the Devil and a demon called Beelphegor inside of him, with devastating consequences. Samuel's mother, Marilyn Morgan, a successful Pharmaceutical director demands help from psychiatrists and doctors in an effort to cure her son - who now suffers from demonic possession. Their help though is ineffective. This drives her to desperate measures. She seeks out a priest, Reverend Stephen Mason, begging him for assistance. Mason agrees, but first he has to fight his doubts and inhibitions about God, before confronting the demon Beelphegor that resides in the boy. This is not an easy tale to read. It's a roller-coaster ride of terror, which digs deep into all our fears about the never-ending struggle between the true evil in our world, and the concept of true faith in God - that can ultimately defeat it.
