Isang pari at doktor ang makikipaglaban sa pwersa ng kadiliman kundi pati na rin sa kanilang lumalagong atraksyon sa isa't isa. Will they be able to resist the temptation and complete their mission or will love be their ultimate downfall?

Hezekiah's POV
"THIS is so wrong," Jael whispered as she skeptically watched us tying the rope.
"Okay na po ba ito, Father?" tanong ng babaeng doktor na kasama namin sabay sulyap sa walang malay na si Maviel na nakaupo sa wheelchair.
Tumango lang ako at muli naming narinig ang boses ni Jael na tila kausap pa rin ang sarili.
"I can't believe this," aniya nang nakahalukipkip at napansin kong panay tapik ng kanyang daliri. "What now?" tanong niya nang mahuli akong nakatingin sa kanya.
I didn't answer. The other doctor joined Jael behind me while I looked around to face the unconscious Maviel. Ilaw Foundation's chapel was the only place I thought to bring her in, the guard and caretaker knew me, and that's why they immediately let us pass. I told them not to let anyone enter while we were there. Tanging isang chandelier lang sa altar ang pinabuksan ko.
What now? I also asked myself.
The demon inside Maviel knew that I was not authorized as an exorcist for this rite. When I was still in the ministry, I knew well how precautious the process was before conducting an official exorcism. Kailangang dumaan sa tamang proseso ang lahat at kailangan ng opisyal na basbas ng obispo. That's how it always works—like the justice system in the Philippines, there's a due process—long and dull due process.
But isn't that cruel? To delay justice?
It's the same for this poor child. It's cruel to make her suffer more—to make her wait to get delivered from the evil spirits that torment her.
But you were expelled long ago, you're not allowed to this exorcism, my mind tells me.
Hindi ko mapigilang yumuko, pumikit, at bumulong, "Panginoon, anong gagawin ko?"
Fix your eyes on Me, Hezekiah.
Pagdilat ko ng mga mata ay tumingala ako sa altar at nakita si Hesus sa krus. Muli kong nariniga ng tinig sa aking isip.
Fix your eyes on Me, Son.
What do I do?
Forget everything you learned before and fix your eyes on Me. I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions...
"And to overcome the power of the enemy," hindi ko mapigilang sambitin ang katagang 'yon na nagbigay sa'kin ng kaliwanagan. Lumuwag ang pagkakahinga ko at muling tumingin kay Maviel.
Gumalaw ang mga kamay niya at dahan-dahang nag-angat ng tingin. Naguguluhan at tila naluluha ang kanyang mga mata, saka napagtantong hindi siya makagalaw sa wheelchair na kinauupuan.
"A-Ate Jael?" basag ang kanyang tinig. "A-Ano po 'to? A-Ang sakit po."
