Cal Jamison's life is turned upside down when his wife, Lisa, dies from an accidental electrocution. Stricken with grief, this tragic event propels Cal to make drastic changes in his life, including relocating with their young son, Chris.

Cal and Chris move from Minneapolis to New York City, seeking a fresh start after their loss. Cal takes a job as a police psychologist, hoping to find purpose in helping others while grappling with his own grief.

New York City is rocked by a series of brutal child murders, beginning with the discovery of a young boy's body in an abandoned theater. The police are on high alert, and the growing panic adds to Cal's professional challenges.

Policeman Tom Lopez discovers the first victim's body and believes the crimes are part of a sinister ritual carried out by a Hispanic cult. Cal is appointed to examine Tom, who is increasingly paranoid and fixated on the cult's leader.

A second victim is discovered eviscerated on an altar beneath a dock in Staten Island. Cal begins to investigate the connections between the murders and the folklore of brujería with the help of Carmen, his housekeeper.

In a desperate moment, Tom, haunted by paranoia and followed by shadowy figures, tragically takes his own life in a diner. His death deepens the mystery surrounding the cult and sends shockwaves through the investigation.

Cal's frustration grows when he discovers Carmen performing a ritual to protect Chris. In a moment of anger driven by grief, he evicts her from their home, despite her insistence that she is acting out of love.

While visiting his affluent relatives' country home with Chris, Cal learns from Oscar Sezine that a ritual murder is planned for the summer solstice in four days. This newfound urgency amplifies Cal's worries about Chris's safety.

Jessica's health takes a drastic turn as a boil erupts on her face, releasing baby spiders. As she collapses from panic, Cal is notified of a change in plans regarding Chris, leading to more chaos.

Cal arrives at the country house only to learn from Dennis that Kate has left unexpectedly. Shortly after, Dennis recounts a horrific story about human sacrifice during their travels, hinting at the cult's dark intentions.

The tension escalates as Palo and Robert Calder, along with other cult members, confront Cal and claim that Chris has been chosen for sacrifice. The psychological battle intensifies as Cal tries to comprehend their claims.

Cal's parental instincts kick in as he discovers Chris is missing. He escapes through a window, leading him to a boathouse where he finds Kate's lifeless body, evoking horror and despair as he realizes the stakes.

Cal is taken to a desolate factory where Chris's ritual murder is set to occur. In a violent confrontation, he fights against the cultists, learning that he must confront his fears to save his son.

In a gripping climax, Cal stabs Dennis, a major obstacle in his quest to save Chris. With urgency, he battles cult members as his friend Marty provides crucial backup, heightening the tension in the rescue attempt.

After the harrowing events, Cal, Jessica, and Chris begin to rebuild their lives on a peaceful farm. However, Cal's tranquility is shattered when he discovers an altar in the barn, hinting that the cult's influence may not be entirely gone.
