Plot Summary
Sister Mary sneaks into a superior’s bedroom at night and steals a ring of keys to escape through the locked gates of a Catholic convent. Four hooded figures capture her and break her leg, then knock her unconscious. Mary later wakes up in a coffin and is buried alive. After surviving a drowning in a frozen lake and being declared dead for seven minutes, young novice Sister Cecilia, who turned to Christianity at an early age, becomes convinced God had saved her for a purpose. She receives an invitation from Father Sal Tedeschi to join a convent in Italy that tends to dying nuns.
Cecilia takes her final vows to adhere to the evangelical counsels and becomes a nun, being decorated with a rosary. Cecilia befriends Sister Gwen and is struck by certain oddities, such as an elder nun having cross-shaped scars on the soles of her feet. The convent’s chapel houses a relic, a Holy Nail that was used to crucify Jesus. After having nightmares of hooded figures, Cecilia is shocked to learn that she is pregnant, even though she is a virgin. The convent’s inhabitants begin to treat her as the next Virgin Mary, with many proclaiming the child is a “blessing”. Another nun, Sister Isabelle, tries to drown Cecilia out of jealousy and later dies by suicide. Cecilia throws up one of her own teeth and her health worsens.
Her request to be taken to a proper hospital is denied by Father Tedeschi. Gwen publicly chastises the convent superiors for this abnormality but is then taken away by Father Tedeschi and Deacon Enzo. Cecilia notices the inscription “2 Corinthians 11:14” behind the Virgin Mary picture in her room, which leads to an ominous phrase in the Bible. At night, Cecilia sneaks around the covenant and finds her personal file, and is shocked to find information about her childhood accident and a karyotype.
