Demonic

Carly has never understood the cruelty of her mother, who was responsible for the deaths of more than twenty people. Years after the tragedy, a secret organization offers her answers. Using a device that can project another person's consciousness, Carly enters her mother's mind, where she confronts an ancient evil that threatens to consume her as well.
