As the series unfolds, Maria's life takes a turn when she discovers that she has a demon living inside her. Her greatest strength thus turns into one of her biggest weaknesses. She is wrestling with herself between two opposing forces, one side wanting to do good for the world while the other just wants chaos.
With her own demons to fight, Maria is thrust into an intriguing storyline that peers into her past and present demons driving her to the brinks of her sanity. With her brother and exorcist friend alongside her, Maria sets out to battle other demons and protect the residents of Charleston from destruction.
Throughout the series, viewers are also introduced to other characters such as Camron (played by Bill Irwin), a mysterious scientist; and Grace (played by Lamman Rucker), a police detective. Maria is tasked to not only to fight the demons but also to unravel the mystery of their existence, and as the series progresses, the tension around the mysteries heightens.
