Out Skerries is a minuscule archipelago of the United Kingdom located in Scotland, to the east of the Shetland Islands, in the middle of the North Sea. A few years ago, the fish farm—the island’s main economic resource and the only company offering the possibility of a job—went bankrupt. Then the government closed the secondary school. The archipelago’s population went from 70 to about 20 inhabitants… Julie Powis Arthur is one of the women who remained. Her husband, then her eldest son, had to leave their house for the Mainland and only rarely come back.

Two fathers struggle to find a way to cohabit with their possessed daughter. Every night, the same thing happens over and over. Giles and Sean's daughter runs around their flat, screaming, scratching walls - possessed by a demon. They're terrified of their own daughter and don't know what to do about it.
