Nadia and her son Samir have moved to Queens, New York to restart their lives after the violent death of her husband. They discover an old painting of a sad, innocent-looking boy hanging in their new apartment. Nadia is reluctant to keep the maudlin canvas but relents when her son seems to bond with it. The grief-torn family have no idea that within the canvas hides a demon from Hell, surviving for millennia by feeding on the souls of children. Thrown into the world of the supernatural, Nadia must overcome her depression and grief to save her son from Evil.
