Plot Summary

The film opens with Frederic Mason, a former priest, desperately praying to God for “swift” penance. Frederic and his wife Ethel are mourning the recent death of their young daughter Joanie. His former colleague Graham suggests that her death may be God’s way of telling him to re-join the church, but Frederic believes it was God who took his daughter away. Despite Graham’s worries about his occasional mental lapses, Frederic insists that he return to his isolated countryside home with Ethel.

Unexpected Encounter

The couple are visited by their friend Doris, who is Joanie’s birth mother, a fact that Ethel confirms she never told Joanie. That night, a young man emerges from the woods with a sprained foot and asks Frederic for help. Apart from his name, Aaron Smith, the man does not give any credible information about himself, but despite the couple’s suspicion, they let him stay the night. Unable to sleep, Aaron talks over tea with Frederic, telling him that, like Joanie, he is an adoptive child, too. He tells a rambling story about his abusive parents and how he used to be possessed by an inexplicable force as a young child, and then collapses. In the morning, Frederic finds Ethel cheerfully cooking breakfast while singing with Aaron, telling Frederic how thankful she is to God that Aaron is here. Aaron later tells Frederic that he, too, suffers from mental lapses.

Revelations and Confessions

The next day, when alone with Frederic, Aaron suddenly begs Frederic to kill him, or he swears to “take Ethel from [him]”. Frederic is angered but Aaron suddenly collapses again. After Ethel is asleep, Aaron reveals to Frederic that he is his penance; when Frederic was praying, Aaron became possessed to run over Joanie with his car. He wandered aimlessly through the woods to look for Frederic, who is revealed to be Aaron’s biological father. Before he met Ethel, Frederic raped a woman in his former parish. She kept quiet to protect the church and then, unbeknownst by Frederic who moved away, died in childbirth. Having never been “possessed of love”, Aaron says he becomes “possessed of something else”. After Frederic refuses to believe him, Aaron reaches out his hand to touch a flower, which instantly wilts.

The Final Showdown

Frederic sees Graham at church in the morning and confesses, fearing he must make up for a sin by committing another sin. Referencing the Book of Revelation, Graham explains that a sin does not cancel out another, but committing one will not release any “[ball] of fire in the sky”, either. He implores that Frederic know the difference between “what’s real and what our conscience has created to punish us”.

That night, Aaron urges Frederic to kill him, but he still refuses, believing that when a man of God commits murder, it will be “the end of all things” and the whole mankind will be punished in “fire and fury”. Doris suddenly arrives and asks Frederic to give her a blessing because she has been having nightmares since Joanie died. When Frederic returns with the Bible, Doris has been stabbed by Aaron, who threatens to kill her unless Frederic agrees to kill him. Frederic still refuses and calls the police, so Aaron throws Doris against the wall to her death with a blow of his breath. Ethel appears and Aaron triggers her bronchitis. Frederic finally stabs Aaron, who dies in his arms, and Ethel recovers. Frederic goes outside as a police officer arrives, then breaks down when he sees four balls of fire descending from the sky in his direction.
