The Devil’s Child

The mother of Nikki DeMarco makes a pact with Satan to save her daughter's life after Nikki nearly dies from a fall. Lucifer appears during the last rites and says he will spare Nikki in exchange for a future child, the Antichrist. The mother agrees and the Devil saves Nikki's life.

The Devil saves Nikki's life as a baby following the pact. The mother dies soon after, having fulfilled the bargain. Nikki's miraculous survival sets the stage for a life shadowed by occult forces.

Years pass and Nikki grows into a successful photographer. Her mother lies on her deathbed and tries to warn her of the encroaching evil, but Nikki remains skeptical of faith. The mother dies, leaving Nikki to confront hidden dangers alone.

Nikki relocates to a new apartment, unaware that the room was the scene of a brutal murder years before. She grows more isolated from spiritual life as she distances herself from faith. The apartment's history quietly foreshadows the coming danger.

After an argument at a bar, Nikki storms off and a coworker dies after being hit by a car. A mysterious, handsome stranger saves her from harm, and she later learns he lives across the hall. The encounter marks the beginning of a dangerous closeness.

The stranger, Alexander Rotha, is revealed to be a theology professor, and he and Nikki grow close, eventually becoming lovers. His charm masks a deeper, unsettling nature that Nikki cannot ignore. Their relationship pulls her deeper into a web of occult forces.

The priest tries to warn Nikki of the evil pursuing her, but is violently hurled from a room high above the church chapel by a gust of wind. Nikki witnesses the horrifying event and is shaken by the supernatural sign. The incident confirms that something extraordinary and dangerous is at play.

Nikki reads a journal once belonging to the dead priest and pieces together clues that Rotha is connected to Satan. The discovery shakes her trust in him and plants seeds of suspicion. The sinister truth begins to drive her to reassess her fate.

Nikki learns she is pregnant with Rotha's child, despite prior claims she could not bear children. Doctors call it a medical miracle, and the pregnancy deepens the looming sense of destiny around her baby. The child's life becomes entwined with the battle between good and evil.

Nikki attempts to obtain an abortion, but a mysterious explosion destroys the hospital and kills everyone there. She survives, and the pregnancy continues, reinforcing the idea that fate has chosen this path for her. The disaster accelerates the clash with dark forces.

During her pregnancy, Nikki returns to her Catholic faith and seeks salvation for herself and her unborn child. She hopes baptism and prayer can shield them from the looming evil. Her renewed piety becomes a core element of her plan to survive.

Nikki goes into labor in her own apartment and experiences a vision of her mother making the fatal pact. She gives birth to the child, initially feeling happiness, but then senses the Devil's presence and learns he expects his son to rise. The moment seals the family's cursed fate.

Nikki's friend, who has also made a devil's deal, knocks Nikki out with a pan to seize the infant. Nikki survives the ambush and runs to the safety of a church with the child. The escape underscores the stakes of the battle between faith and evil.

Inside the church, baptism is performed as a form of exorcism while a violent wind whips through the building and an earthquake trembles the walls. The priest administers the baptism to the baby, and the supernatural turmoil subsides as the rite completes. The church becomes a battleground between light and darkness.

Nikki leaves the church carrying her child, having endured the ordeal and secured a fragile peace. The Devil watches with a blank, emotionless expression before turning away, suggesting the struggle will continue only in the shadows. Nikki steps into the future with her baby, determined to protect them.
