Ethan Blackwood, a struggling art student on his twenty-first birthday, receives a cryptic message from his estranged father moments before shadowy figures attempt to abduct him. Following his father's instructions, Ethan flees to the ancestral Blackwood Manor, a gothic edifice steeped in dark family secrets. Cornered and facing certain death, Ethan inadvertently triggers an ancient ritual, binding himself to a powerful demon. He awakens to find a captivating young woman, Seraphina, claiming to be his newly appointed 'housekeeper.' But Seraphina is far more than she appears, and Ethan is about to discover that his father's secrets have plunged him into a centuries-old conflict between Heaven and Hell, fought on Earth with him as the unwitting pawn.
