Christine Brown is an ambitious loan officer at a Los Angeles bank, desperate to secure a promotion to
assistant manager. To prove her toughness to her boss, she denies a mortgage extension to a terrifying elderly woman named Mrs. Ganush. Humiliated and facing eviction, the woman unleashes a horrific supernatural curse upon Christine. The curse dictates that for three days, Christine will suffer torment by a powerful demonic entity known as the Lamia, after which she will be dragged into the fiery depths of hell for eternal damnation.As the deadline approaches, Christine’s life descends into absolute chaos. She experiences terrifying hallucinations, physical assaults from invisible forces, and a series of humiliating public breakdowns. Desperate to save her soul, she turns to her boyfriend, Clay, a professor who remains skeptical of the supernatural, and Rham Jas, a clairvoyant medium. Rham Jas explains that the Lamia is a soul-eating demon that cannot be reasoned with. He suggests that Christine must pass the curse onto someone else to escape her fate.In a moment of moral desperation, Christine attempts to sacrifice her cat, but she ultimately cannot bring herself to go through with it. She discovers that the only remaining way to break the curse is to transfer it to the person who originally cast it. She rushes to Mrs. Ganush’s home, only to find that the woman has died. Thinking she has outsmarted the demon, Christine spends her final hours in a state of relief, believing the curse has been lifted.The following morning, she plans to meet Clay at a train station for a getaway. However, a series of revelations forces her to realize she was tricked. She discovers that the envelope she used to pass the curse to Mrs. Ganush was actually empty because the old woman had died before receiving it. As Christine stands on the train platform, the ground beneath her begins to crack and pulsate with hellfire. Terrified and screaming for help, she is pulled down onto the tracks by skeletal hands. Clay watches in horror as his girlfriend is dragged
into the abyss, leaving him alone as the train passes over the spot where she vanished.
