This is a story about the family that is not a family anymore. Not even now after more than
twenty years. A twenty-five years old guy IAN TURNER is completely frustrated and hurt
because, deep inside, he knows, he was the main trigger for his father’s death. And he simply
cannot live with it. This painful thought haunts him every night until he started drinking; He
even starts to be rude towards his mother BRENDA, and younger brother MATTHEW. One
night while completely drained out from alcohol, he performs an occult ritual using an OUIJA
board. He has all the hopes in the world that he will be able to talk with his father and ask him
for forgiveness. But, something unexpected happens. He invokes Lucifer instead. Lucifer
invents the story of how he can help him to be freed from remorse if he can withstand the
temptations for six days, six hours and six minutes.
Tired of everything and not even knowing what to do, Ian accepts Lucifer’s offer and that’s
where the devilish journey begins. Ian must obey his will now. That very night, Ian cuts his
veins and gets into the hospital. He realizes he made a mistake accepting the deal and wants to
get free from Lucifer. He wants to die. But, Lucifer does not let him. Lucifer begins to torture
his weakest point; Brenda. He makes her levitate and ties her hands and waist with the rope. He
makes her dreams into unbearable nightmares. Brenda starts to hear things, strange voices and
sounds. During all that time, Ian pulls the strings of the Lucifer’s masterpiece and conducts the
destiny of his family. The days are passing one by one and the events occurring get more and
stranger. Brenda has a dream about their previous “happy” life, but it gets cut when her, LATE
husband George wants to take Ian into the lights. He constantly repeats that Ian will destroy
their lives, and that she does not need two of them (two sons). Brenda does not let George to
take Ian away. In reality, Ian talks with Lucifer every single night and on the fourth day begins to
sell all the furniture to some homeless Gipsy people in exchange for a few dollar bills – just to
buy some alcohol and drugs. While trying to stop and prevent this, Matthew gets punched in the
head and almost loses conscience. Brenda walks in and finds an empty living room with only
sofa remaining in the middle. She sits down and almost gets a heart attack, but the neighbor
doctor Sophia comes and gives her best to save her. That moment becomes crucial, because Ian
begins to realize the bad in him, and the bad person Lucifer made him into. The “good
moments” pass so quickly. Ian turns into raged and careless person again. He does not let
Brenda and Matthew inside the house, claiming that they have nothing to do in the house; that
this is only HIS property. Brenda and Matt go to the neighbors and spend some time inside
while the real culmination happens inside the Turners’ house. Ian knows that he must bear the
consequences for his acts so he consciously wants his brother and mother out of the house. But
Lucifer has a different, much devilish plan to drag them back inside the house and burn them
down to the ground; together with the house. Ian does not want to obey him and that’s when
Lucifer disguises himself as Ian and forces the real one to go and bring his family back. Lucifer,
literally, dictates the words and acts instead of Ian.
As soon as Brenda sees Ian outside on the street, begging and asking for help, she runs outside
and towards the house. She gets inside. Matthew runs after her. Brenda’s feet are like glued to
the floor as she watches the two-versions of her son at the same time. She thinks she’s crazy.
Matthew breaks in and tries to save her but gets caught by Lucifer and thrown inside the
bedroom. At the very next moment, Brenda manages to free herself and runs inside the
bedroom, following Matthew. The final hours of the sixth day are running. A “salvation” ritual
begins and Ian must repeat the condemning words that will lead him and his family directly to
Hell. In the meantime, Brenda and Matthew find the way and runs outside. Lucifer forces Ian to
repeat after him what Ian apparently does until the final moments where he changes the word
“DEVIL” into “MY LORD JESUS CHRIST” and runs outside. Lucifer remains in the room,
locked inside the pentagon and doomed back to Hell. The house burns to the ground. Brenda
cannot believe her eyes what is happening before her. She does not even believe it is her “real”
son kneeling in front of her. The very next morning, they go to the cemetery where Ian burst
into tears and asks his father to forgive him. Brenda and Matthew tell him that it all must
remain in the past. The screen fades to black followed by the echoing words of Ian’s father:
“You have been forgiven, my son!
