Father Thomas Garrity is a Catholic priest who unexpectedly comes
face to face with a horrific demon. Through fate or demonic
manipulation, he winds up substituting for a prison chaplain who
mysteriously committed suicide and was counseling a serial killer
condemned on death row. Garrity meets with the convict, who at
first is mute, and then becomes all too talkative, claiming to be a
demon. A naive Father Garrity assumes he is dealing with a
schizophrenic. Truly possessed by the demon Furfur, the inmate
begins his attack on Father Garrity. As all Catholic priests,
Garrity is uneducated and unskilled at confronting the
supernatural, much less a demon. This demon is intent on destroying
Garity's faith in God through any means possible. The one problem
is that this "inmate" will be executed in a week, so time is of the
essence. At first Garrity thinks that he must only survive until
the execution, but then finds he will become hunted afterward by a
demon that will transfer to a whole new body. Furfur, a documented
fallen angel taken from demonology, initially attempts to overwhelm
Garrity with his knowledge and history. Failing, he escalates his
efforts to violence, and eventually murders. Father Garrity, as all
common parish priests, is inexperienced, but is desperate to defeat
this demon, even though his path is crammed with obstacles. He is
surrounded by non-believers and a Catholic organization that has
created an impossible bureaucracy which frowns on the very mention
of exorcism. The demon Furfur intends to deliver the soul of this
convict to hell and then transfer himself to another person and
continue to torment the priest. Father Garrity finds that Furfur,
in documented demonology, ranks high in the hierarchy of hell and
has 150,000 demons at his command. Although in prison, Furfur can
torture the priest through hurting those close to him simply by
using his legions. Father Garrity reaches out to the Vatican and
eventually enlists the help of the official head Exorcist. He is
also aided by an unofficial American exorcist. Their realization
that the limited time until the execution is nowhere near adequate
for an exorcism, makes for an unsolvable dilemma.
