It Feeds

Cynthia sits with her patient Larry, attempting a standard therapy session. As she tunes into Larry's memories, she witnesses a young version of him imprisoned and tormented by his school coach. The psychic intrusion leaves her physically scarred, underscoring the dangerous cost of her gift.

Cynthia and Jordan learn that psychic abilities run in the family, a trait their late husband also possessed. He reportedly confronted a powerful entity and died as a result. This backstory deepens the sense of hereditary danger surrounding them.

Riley Harris arrives at Cynthia's home practice in distress, bearing clear signs of supernatural affliction: marks on her arms and an overwhelming dark presence. Despite Riley's pleas for help, Cynthia refuses to take the case, recognizing the dangerous nature of the entity. The decision sparks conflict with Jordan, who criticizes her mother for turning away someone in need.

Against her mother's orders, Jordan secretly decides to help Riley. During their first contact, Jordan unintentionally creates a psychic link that allows the malevolent entity to begin targeting her as well. The creature appears as a wraith-like figure feeding on trauma.

With the connection established, the entity starts feeding on Jordan's suffering and intensifies its influence. Jordan begins to show escalating symptoms, including frightening visions and moments of possession. The creature demonstrates its parasitic nature by moving between victims.

The investigation reveals that the entity has passed through generations, attaching to vulnerable individuals and feeding on their pain until they are consumed or found a new host. It thrives on trauma and fear, rendering traditional exorcisms ineffective.

Randall, Riley's father, becomes increasingly unstable as he witnesses his daughter's deterioration, his desperation oscillating between sympathetic concern and potential danger. His volatility adds another layer of risk to the family's situation.

Cynthia confronts her traumatic past, confronting the grief that forced her to withdraw from active practice after her husband's death. She realizes that unresolved guilt has limited her ability to face the entity now stalking her family.

Both Riley and Jordan show escalating symptoms, including self-harm marks and possession episodes where the entity speaks through them. The threat becomes more tangible as the girls' bodies become battlegrounds for the parasite's power. Cynthia recognizes the severity and the need for a decisive solution.

Traditional exorcism methods fail to stop the predator; it thrives on psychic energy produced by trauma and fear. The entity resists conventional rites, forcing Cynthia to rethink how to confront it. The fight shifts from ritual to a deeper, personal confrontation.

In the climax, Cynthia uses her abilities to enter the psychic realm where the creature resides, confronting it directly. Jordan and Riley remain in physical danger as the battle unfolds in the mortal world.

The confrontation culminates in a sacrifice that breaks the creature's hold on the girls. The act comes at a significant personal cost to Cynthia, who emerges forever changed by the encounter.

With the immediate threat resolved, the film hints that such entities are part of a larger supernatural ecosystem preying on the vulnerable. The world continues to watch for signs of other haunted souls and the psychic guardians who protect them.
