Lankester Merrin is a archaeologist by profession but an ordained Roman Catholic priest who has lost his faith and abandoned his vocation. He is haunted by what he was forced to do in his native Holland during World War II. The church hes excavated in Northern Kenyan dates to the Byzantine period but this puts its construction hundreds of years before Christianity was introduced to the area. the church was buried to the rooftop in sand and as its structure is exposed, a madness slowly descends on the camp. the local tribesmen are prepared to go to war and demand that the church be buried. Soon, two British soldiers are found dead and their commanding officer, Major Granville, shoots a innocent civilian in cold blood. As fear descends upon everyone in the camp, it becomes apparent that a young disabled boy, Cheche, is possessed by the devil forcing Merrin to re-examine his own beliefs.
Emotionally scarred, three painful years after that haunting incident in Nazi-occupied Holland, the once-pious former Catholic priest, Father Lankester Merrin, finds himself supervising an archaeological dig in Derati, Kenya. There, the unexpected and equally perplexing discovery of a nearly intact Byzantine church will set in motion a series of violent incidents, as sceptical Merrin, along with the young priest, Father Francis, and Dr Rachel Lesno, struggle to decipher the temples occult purpose. Now, more and more, the invisible stranglehold of an unearthed malevolent spirit tightens, and unprotected innocents fall prey to its demonic force. Can Merrins unbelief shield him from the dominion of evil, or will the shocking findings pave the way for the rediscovery of faith?
