Graham reluctantly agrees to go and see for himself.

With the three brothers back together, they soon realise they are unprepared for the forces against them. With Graham forced to accept that their younger brother is indeed possessed, they soon learn that the sins of their past will not stay hidden. But how do you defeat a presence that knows you inside and out? An anger so powerful it refuses to stay dead? A rage that wants revenge on the sons that murdered him…

Audiences can expect something fresh. It’s disturbing, it’s humorous, and I promise it will have people talking about what they’ve just witnessed long after it finishes.”
